Kikuichi Sujihiki Knife

A Sujihiki is a Japanese-style slicer designed specifically for carving meats and slicing fish. Its long, slender blade allows you to cut through proteins in a single, smooth stroke, which helps keep the texture intact and prevents juices from escaping.

Molybdenum stainless steel is prized for its excellent edge retention and high corrosion resistance. This makes the knife durable enough for professional environments while remaining relatively low-maintenance compared to high-carbon steel blades.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the blade's edge and the integrity of the handle, you should always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.

This Kikuichi Sujihiki features a 9.5-inch blade. This length is ideal for slicing larger roasts, briskets, or whole fish fillets in one continuous motion.

While it is made of durable stainless steel, it is still a precision Japanese blade. We recommend using a whetstone to maintain its sharpness rather than a pull-through sharpener, which can be too aggressive and damage the refined edge geometry.
