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 proteins and for slicing terrines and patés with finesse. Blade lengths span from 210mm to 300mm (8.3 to 12 inches), with 240mm and 270mm being particularly favored for their balanced cutting length and agility. When used for their intended purpose Sujihiki has a significant advantage: the slimmer blade will have less surface contact with the soft protein, and lead to reduced frictions during the cut compare to Gyuto as this type of food would "grip" the blade from pushing forward. In addition, the generally flat profile of Sujihiki is a perfect match for slicing tasks, when paired with a carbon steel core, they are some of the best tools for portioning large piece of meat, they can also act as the perfect melon cutter occationaly.

Steel

MV (Molybdenum Vanadium)

- Unknown
Nature Stainless
Hardness54–60 HRC

The MV steel is a generic term that used for steel with molybdenum and vanadium added to it, the carbide formed by these two elements have very high hardness but relative small in their particle sizes, which is good for increase the wear resistance of the steel without sacrifice too much toughness. MV steel is commonly stamped on lower end and entry level Japanese blades but it doesn't refer to a specific chemical composition, but rather indicate that M and V are added to the steel. MV steels are usually fully stainless with a hardness not greater than 60 HRD due to lower carbon content.
