Tsunehisa Tsuchime Sujihiki 240mm
Sujihiki – Japanese Slicing Knife
The sujihiki is a long, slender slicing knife designed for carving meat, portioning fish and producing smooth, even cuts. Its narrow profile reduces friction, allowing the blade to glide cleanly through food while preserving presentation. Lighter and thinner than Western carving knives, the sujihiki offers precision with minimal resistance.

Tsuchime – Hammered Finish
Tsuchime means “hammered” in Japanese. The stamped tsuchime finish recreates the textured, dimpled surface of hand-hammered blades using a precise pressing technique. These shallow indentations help reduce drag and minimise food sticking during prep, while giving the knife a subtle, crafted appearance.

Steel Care
• Always hand wash immediately after use — never in the dishwasher.
• Dry completely with a towel to prevent rust or discolouration.
• Use wooden or soft plastic chopping boards to preserve the edge.
• Store safely — in a knife block, magnetic rack or saya cover.
• Sharpen regularly using whetstones for best long-term performance.
• Carbon steels will form a patina over time — this is normal and protective.
