    The Tsunehisa ZA18 Damascus Sujihiki 240mm is a high-performance slicer built for precision and durability. Made in Japan, it features a ZA18 stainless steel core, known for its fine grain structure, excellent edge retention, and enhanced toughness compared to VG10—ideal for demanding kitchen environments. The long, narrow sujihiki profile enables clean, single-draw slices, preserving the texture of meats and fish.

    The blade is clad in elegant Damascus layers, creating a refined flowing pattern while helping reduce drag during slicing. Its thin grind and keen edge make it perfect for brisket, roasts, and sashimi preparation.

    Paired with a Western-style handle, the knife offers a comfortable, well-balanced grip with added control and stability. Combining strength, sharpness, and striking aesthetics, this ZA18 sujihiki is a reliable choice for both professionals and serious home cooks.

    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.
