His knives represent the future of Blacksmithing in Japan as he focuses on traditional technique while using innovative and progressive design's and finishes that have garnered the attention of many chef's around the globe.

The long, slender blade allows the user to make long drawing strokes, which makes it incredibly adept at slicing and reduces the amount of sawing needed to get through ingredients. They are most commonly in the 240 mm (10 inches) to 300 mm (12 inches) range. The Sujihiki has a very specific use case, so if you're looking for a knife that is capable of slicing and chopping vegetables, we would recommend a Gyuto or Kiritsuke. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-external-message\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53201967874364,"sku":"YKFSG2240SU","price":499.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/products\/yu-kurosaki-fujin-sujihiki-240-mm","provider":"SHARP Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
