This sujihiki is built on Ginsan stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its longevity and ease of sharpening - excellent edge stability and corrosion resistance without ever feeling brittle. At 245mm this knife has the reach for long, clean single-stroke cuts through proteins and large ingredients, exactly the kind of slicing work a sujihiki is built for.
The nashiji finish gives the blade an eye-catching, pear-skin texture that pairs beautifully with the warm sakura cherry wood handle, and every knife in this line is hand engraved by our friend Akane-san, who also created the elegant calligraphy on the Yahiko box. The even 50/50 grind is neutral and predictable for both right- and left-handed cooks.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer simply calls it an absolute laser, reporting that it cut through a slab of pork belly like warm butter, and recommends it highly.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry promptly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or leave the knife wet on the board. Store carefully to protect the edge and the engraved details.
