Kikuichi Warikomi Damascus Sujihiki Knife

A Sujihiki is a Japanese-style slicing knife designed for precision work. Its long, thin blade is ideal for carving roasts, slicing cooked meats, and portioning fish without tearing the delicate fibers.

The 45-layer Damascus cladding serves a functional purpose by providing structural support to the AUS10 steel core. While visually striking, the layering helps create a blade that is both thin and agile while maintaining excellent edge retention.

To keep the Rosewood handle in top condition, avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack. Simply hand wash the blade, wipe the handle dry immediately, and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood's luster.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The combination of high-carbon steel and a natural wood handle requires hand washing and immediate drying to prevent rust, corrosion, and damage to the handle material.

AUS10 is a high-carbon Japanese steel known for its superior hardness and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. It offers a great balance of durability and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable choice for professional and home cooks alike.
