The Sujihikis by Kanetsune knives are a modern take on the traditional Japanese Yanagiba sushi prep knife. These knives are specifically designed for slicing large pieces of beef, pork, or fish with precision. The 9.375" DSR-1K6 HC blade is made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity in the kitchen. Its generous length allows for seamless slicing in one smooth motion, eliminating the need for sawing and ensuring a clean cut surface. The Tsuchime hammered finish not only adds a visually appealing touch but also prevents food from sticking to the blade. The sculpted brown wood handles are not only comfortable to hold but also provide excellent control during use.
