    The Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef SP Sujihiki 270 mm is a premium slicer crafted in Sakai, Japan — a region celebrated for centuries of knife-making excellence. Forged from high-purity Swedish stainless steel and hardened to around HRC 58-60, this mono-steel blade offers superb edge retention, sharpness, and ease of maintenance.

    The long, narrow profile and 50/50 double bevel allow for precise, effortless slicing of meats, fish, and vegetables. A key feature of the Grand Chef SP series is its hollow-ground blade face, designed to reduce surface friction and prevent food from sticking — ensuring each cut glides cleanly and smoothly.

    Balanced with a comfortable Western-style handle (often POM resin or hardwood), the knife delivers both control and comfort in extended use. Combining outstanding steel, refined geometry, and Sakai craftsmanship, this sujihiki is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision and performance in every slice.

     


    Care Instruction
    1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
    2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
    3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
    4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
    5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
    6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
    • Profile: Sujihiki

      Slicer

      The Sujihiki, also known as Sujibiki, stands out as a Japanese slicing knife, characterized by a thinner and sharper edge than those found in Western kitchens. Its long blade is ideally crafted for the artful, thin carving of cooked meats and for slicing terrines and patés with finesse. Blade lengths span from 210mm to 300mm (8.3 to 12 inches), with 270mm and 300mm being particularly favored for their ability to facilitate smooth and efficient slicing. The meticulous design of the Sujihiki reflects a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese precision and a focused functionality, catering to the needs of culinary professionals and enthusiasts alike.
