Yoshihiro Tsuchime Finish VG10 17-layer Damascus Steel Sujihiki
Description
Crafted by Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro in Sakai City, Osaka, Japan, the knife combines Sakai's 600 years of forging tradition with the ancient art of Damascus folding. It features a 17-layer folded Damascus stainless steel, with a corrosion-resistant VG10 core.
The blade is manually hammered to create a beautiful Tsuchime pattern, which aids in food release during cutting. The blade edge is polished with a bright finish, showcasing the exquisite Damascus folding pattern.
The primary function of a Sujihiki knife is to trim, cut meat, and slice it along the grain, while removing excess fat and connective tissues.
Since the tendons in meat are not in a straight line, the Sujihiki has a relatively narrow blade width, allowing users to have precise control over the blade and smoothly cut along the tendons.
The thin blade is also suitable for slicing meat into thin pieces. Depending on the length, professional chefs can use it as a versatile tool and employ the Sujihiki for processing sashimi dishes.
Handle: Mahogany wood Western-style handle
