Blade Type

The Sujihiki knife, a traditional Japanese slicer, is designed for carving and fileting. With its long, narrow blade, typically ranging from 240mm to 330mm, it excels in creating clean, smooth cuts through meat and fish. Its length ensures long, uninterrupted strokes, making it perfect for precise slicing tasks.

Steel Type

Japanese SKD steel is a high-carbon, semi stainless steel much like Aogami 2 in it’s performance and sharpening feel. It can take an extremely fine edge, has excellent edge retention and is a joy to use when crafted by experienced craftsman. It will still patina lightly over time like other semi-stainless steels, without the added corrosion risk.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.

Introducing

Yoshikane

With a history spanning over 100 years, Yoshikane Hamono stands among Japan’s most revered knifemakers — a name synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and understated refinement. Based in Sanjo, Niigata, their blades have earned global recognition for their performance, balance, and meticulous finish.

One of their most celebrated offerings is the SKD steel series — featuring a semi-stainless high-carbon core clad in stainless steel. The blades showcase a distinctive wide-bevel grind with a shallow hammer texture that sits stylistically between nashiji and kurouchi finishes. Paired with traditional burnt chestnut handles, each knife reflects Yoshikane’s dedication to consistency, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

Built for serious cooks who value cutting performance as much as aesthetic harmony, Yoshikane knives represent the finest of Japan’s blacksmithing legacy.
