Maintenance:

• Avoid chopping hard ingredients such as bones, frozen food, or any rock-solid items.

• Using soap/washing up liquid to clean and wipe with a sponge. Not dishwasher safe.

• Please note these are very high-carbon knives with an edge that will oxidize which can be reduced and removed with the use of rust-removing cream and camellia oil which are available in our maintenance section.

Sujihiki & Slicers:

The classic slicer. Long and thin, this is the best shape for the preparation of any flesh (meat or fish – cooked or raw) without bones.  The slim profile presents a smaller are of contact with the flesh and thus reduces the strength of the vacuum between the blade and the food resulting in a smoother and easier cut.

Function – Slicing and carving of meat and fish without bones.

Normal length – 240mm to 300mm (a few smaller 180mm and longer 330mm are available)

Tip: Whilst the 240mm or the 270mm lengths are the most popular select the longest length you are comfortable with. The longer the blade, the lesser the pressure required to cut the food and thus increase the ability to cut thinner slices.  As this is one knife that is often taken to the table for carving in front of the diners, apart from the functionality, aesthetics should be an important consideration.
