This 240 mm sujihiki features a sanmai construction, with a flowing hagane line running along the edge. The blade surface displays a damascus tsuchime finish — hand-hammered indentations reduce food adhesion while the layered damascus reveals a flowing wave pattern across the steel. Kanji are engraved on the blade face.
The sujihiki is a double-bevel (ryoba) slicing knife designed for long, pulling cuts through roasted meats, poultry, and fish fillets. Its long, low blade with a straight spine and tapered tip allows extended, uninterrupted strokes. The thin geometry produces clean, precise slices without tearing. At 240 mm, it handles both medium-sized cuts and whole fillets with ease.
The octagonal wa-handle is crafted from a dense reddish-brown wood with tight grain, fitted with a glossy black collar at the blade junction. The combination is understated and well-balanced, comfortable through extended slicing sessions.
In use, this sujihiki is defined by its lightness and precision. The damascus tsuchime finish minimizes drag on the flanks. The blade responds well to long, controlled strokes. It suits cooks looking for a focused slicer equally capable on a roasted beef tenderloin and a fish fillet.
Maintenance depends on the steel — we recommend wiping and drying the blade after each use, and keeping it away from the dishwasher.
