A sujihiki is built for one task above all, clean precise slicing, and this 270mm version from the Harukaze G3 Migaki line brings that focus to a bright, mirror polished finish, since migaki roughly translates to polished in Japanese. The long, slender profile is well suited to portioning roasts, fish, and other proteins in one continuous cut.
The core is G3 stainless steel, also known as Ginsan, a fine grained, high carbon alloy that offers a cutting feel and ease of sharpening similar to classic carbon steel while staying fully stainless. The core is clad in polished stainless steel through a san mai construction, and the handle is an oak octagonal shape, adding both elegance and comfort. The knife is made in Tosa, Japan.
Care Instructions:G3 stainless steel, also known as Ginsan, is low maintenance, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and given the length of this blade, store it where it will not knock against other tools in a drawer. Sharpen on quality water stones when the edge needs attention.
