The sujihiki 240 mm in VG10 from Hitohira's T10 line is built for long drawing cuts through whole roasts, poultry, and fish fillets. Its narrow, elongated blade allows uninterrupted passes from heel to tip without sawing. The reduced blade height limits friction against protein fibers and keeps the cut consistent across the full length of each stroke.

VG10 has been made by Takefu Special Steel since the early 1960s, a steel designed from the start for knifemaking. Its 15% chromium provides strong corrosion resistance, while 1.5% cobalt additions allow it to reach 60,61 HRC. The high chromium content makes it less responsive on the whetstone than lower-alloy steels: sharpening takes more passes, but the edge holds well between sessions. Quality stones, medium to fine grit, give the best results.

Care

Rinse and dry after each use. Never put in the dishwasher. The stainless steel requires no oil or special treatment between uses.

Product notes

Please take note

Each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in shades or colors in the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic and handcrafted character.

Guarantee

Every knife carries a lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues. For example, if the handle peels or cracks after a few weeks of proper use. Or if the blade develops a crack from the edge to the spine. These issues are rare, but can occur. In such cases, you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. Since each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues applies.

INTRODUCTION

The Sujihiki, which translates to "flesh slicer" in Japanese, is a versatile knife that deserves a place in your collection. It is specifically designed for slicing boneless proteins. With its long, narrow, double-beveled blade, the Sujihiki effortlessly slices through fish and meat, minimizing friction and preserving the integrity of each ingredient.

MAIN USE AND CHARACTERISTICS

The Sujihiki knife is primarily used for slicing fish, meat, boneless meats, and tender vegetables. Its narrow blade allows for easy and precise slicing, making it particularly useful for raw fish dishes. The knife's design allows for very thin slices in a single motion, avoiding friction as each slice is smoothly cut. The Sujihiki knife is characterized by its double edge, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed users. It has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip, typically 240 to 300 mm long and 30 to 40 mm high.

LIMITS OF USE

It is important to note that the Sujihiki is primarily a slicing knife and is not intended for heavy-duty tasks or general use. It excels at slicing and carving boneless meats and fish, rather than being a versatile chef's knife. It should not be used for cutting other ingredients or hard foods. Using the Sujihiki on foods other than meat or fish risks quickly dulling the blade, so it is best reserved for specialized slicing tasks to fully appreciate its unique qualities.

ORIGINS AND CONCLUSION

The origin of the Sujihiki knife dates back to Japan, where it is considered a Western version of the traditional Japanese Yanagiba knife. The Yanagiba has long been used in Japanese cuisine to slice boneless proteins, particularly in the preparation of sushi and sashimi. As Japanese cuisine spread worldwide, the need arose for a knife capable of meeting both Japanese and Western culinary techniques. Thus, the Sujihiki was born, combining the precision and sharpness of the Yanagiba with a design that appeals to Western chefs and cooks. Today, the Sujihiki knife is a testament to the fusion of culinary traditions and exemplifies adaptability and innovation in the world of kitchen cutlery. In conclusion, the Sujihiki knife is a versatile and essential tool for any kitchen. Its long, narrow, double-beveled blade effortlessly slices through boneless proteins, minimizing friction and preserving the freshness of each ingredient. While it has limitations in terms of heavy-duty tasks and general use, its specialized slicing capabilities make it a valuable addition to any kitchen's arsenal. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, the Sujihiki knife deserves a place in your kitchen for precise and delicate slicing tasks.
