The Sujihiki

VG-10 is one of the most trusted stainless steels in Japanese knife making - a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy with added cobalt and vanadium that delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. At 60-61 HRC it sits in a practical hardness range: hard enough to hold a keen working edge through daily prep, tough enough to resist chipping. The 33-layer Damascus cladding adds structural support to the core and creates the flowing, wave-like pattern that makes each blade visually unique. The sujihiki is the Japanese equivalent of a Western slicing or carving knife - long, narrow, and designed for single-stroke slicing through proteins with minimal drag and no tearing. At 270mm it has the reach to portion whole roasts, fillet fish, and slice sashimi-grade proteins cleanly. The narrow blade also reduces surface contact, preventing food from sticking. The octagonal oak Wa handle keeps the balance point forward, letting the blade do the work.
