Blade Type

The Sujihiki knife, a traditional Japanese slicer, is designed for carving and fileting. With its long, narrow blade, typically ranging from 240mm to 330mm, it excels in creating clean, smooth cuts through meat and fish. Its length ensures long, uninterrupted strokes, making it perfect for precise slicing tasks.

Steel Type

Japanese SG2, also known as R2 steel, is a high-end, powdered metallurgy stainless steel and one of the finest knife-making steels available in Japan. It is a favourite of many for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. It's fine, uniform grain structure enables razor-sharp edges, all the while holding an edge for much longer than Carbon steel knives, without needing to be concerned about rust appearing.

Care Information

This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.

Sakimaru Katana tip, SG2 Sujihiki, Nigara Hamono, need I say more?

After having stared at this beautiful 270mm Sakimaru Sujihiki from the acclaimed Nigara Hamono for several weeks, I figured that it had to be in my kitchen. Made of the “gold standard” Super Gold 2 (SG2) with the black Kurouchi and stylish Tsuchime pound marks, I knew I was getting a bargain deal. As expected, the edge is laser sharp and sharpened so thin it almost disappears when looking at it straight on. The mono Ebony Wa handle complements the dark coloration and the Katana-ish look of the Sakimaru tip perfectly matches the fierce meat slicer that it is. Oh, and the best part is that this was a double-bevel Sujihiki, not the typical single-bevel Yanagiba I have been accustomed to seeing in this Sakimaru style. Obviously I slice turf meat more than surf meat, and at this price point, this was way too good a deal for me to pass up…. Bankai!

Perfect

I was visiting Australia and walked into the store in Perth looking for "something special" and I guess I found it! The sakimaru shape really gives it a special character especially knowing that it's from Niagara a sword smith

No regrets

This is becoming quite a statement piece of the kitchen, especially on sashimi nights. Zero regrets and absolutely satisfied with both it's aesthetics and performance.
