Experience Controlled Slicing with a Vintage Tsukiji Masamoto Sujihiki

Tsukiji Masamoto Heritage

The existing brand notes describe Tsukiji Masamoto as a historic, respected Japanese knife manufacturer associated with Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market, specialising in traditional chef's and fishmonger's knives. That recorded brand story is retained without attributing an unverified production date or specific workshop history to this piece.

The Sujihiki is a slender Japanese slicing knife designed for clean drawing strokes through proteins. Its narrow profile helps reduce drag through the cut, supporting even slices of roasts and fish. This compact 180mm example offers controlled handling for detailed work rather than the reach of a longer slicer.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never put in the dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to help prevent rust on the carbon steel blade
• Hone carefully as needed and sharpen on a whetstone, maintaining the double bevel
• Store flat with the edge protected or in a knife roll
