Care Instruction

Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
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.

Steel: AUS-8
AUS-8, often just called "molybdenum vanadium steel," is a Japanese stainless steel praised for its affordability, ease of sharpening, and excellent corrosion resistance. It's recommended for less experienced users due to its balanced properties. With added molybdenum and vanadium, AUS-8 offers enhanced strength, hardness, and durability, positioning it as an upper medium quality steel. It's comparable to 440 steel but stands out with better hardness and corrosion resistance. A proper cryogenic treatment further improves its edge retention and toughness, making AUS-8 a cost-effective choice for knife makers and users looking for quality and performance.
