This Sujihiki Slicer knife is handcrafted by our proprietor Masaaki Saito here in Aspley, north side of Brisbane.
Sujihiki is a thin, long Japanese slicing knife originally used by butchers for breaking down loins, trimming sinews and portioning.
Sujihiki is now used for a variety of tasks including cutting steaks, fish portions, carving roasts or slicing carpaccio and cured fish like smoked salmons.
The blade is made of AUS-10 stainless steel ( Japanese Aichi steel ) as the core, sanmai clad with layers of 410 stainless and Nickel to create beautiful Damascus patterns.
AUS-10 is an amazing knife steel with very long edge retention and easy maintenance makes this knife a perfect workhorse.
The octagonal handle is made of TAS Blackwood topped with Mulga ferrule that suits for both hands and gives amazing grip / feels.
This knife is one and only, uniquely handcrafted by knife master Masaaki Saito from blade to handle.
