The Sujihiki knife is a traditional Japanese slicing knife featuring a long, slender blade—typically 240mm to 300mm—designed for precision and effortless slicing. Its thin, razor-sharp edge allows for smooth, clean cuts, making it perfect for filleting fish, slicing sushi, carving meats, and preparing roasts.

Engineered to minimize resistance while cutting, the Sujihiki provides exceptional control and accuracy. The blade may feature a slight curve or remain straight, giving chefs and home cooks the versatility to handle delicate tasks as well as professional slicing techniques.

Part of the Sakai Takayuki Seigaiha series, this premium Japanese knife combines over 40 years of the Grand Chef series legacy with modern innovation. Each blade is forged from high-quality EU/Swedish Böhler N685 steel and layered with Sakai Takayuki’s signature Damascus wave pattern, inspired by the traditional Seigaiha motif, symbolizing infinity, peace, and resilience.

The Vertical Thin Blade Spec further enhances performance by reducing cutting resistance and allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through ingredients. The result is a knife that feels light, powerful, and precise, capable of handling both delicate and demanding kitchen tasks with ease.

More than a functional tool, the Seigaiha sujihiki knife is a work of art, blending Japanese craftsmanship, durability, and performance. Perfect for chefs, culinary enthusiasts, and home cooks, it elevates everyday cooking into a refined and elegant culinary experience.
