Long, narrow, and fine at the tip, it reduces drag and preserves the texture of delicate ingredients. At 240mm, this sits in the sweet spot — long enough for single, fluid slicing strokes, while still feeling agile and controllable on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"502\"\u003e––––––––––––––––––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"818\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"534\"\u003eTsuchime – Hammered Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"537\"\u003eTsuchime means “hammered” in Japanese. This finish features a patterned, dimpled surface along the blade, helping to reduce drag and minimise food sticking as you slice. On a sujihiki, this translates to smoother cuts through proteins, especially when working with larger portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"838\"\u003e––––––––––––––––––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"872\"\u003eOhishi – Sanjo Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"875\"\u003eOhishi knives are produced in Sanjo, Niigata — a region known for practical, performance-focused blades.

It takes a fine edge with relative ease and holds it well, making it a dependable choice for both professional kitchens and home use. Tougher and more forgiving than many high-hardness carbon steels, it’s well suited to busy, varied prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1636\"\u003e––––––––––––––––––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"2014\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eStainless Steel – Care \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1673\"\u003eVG10 offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it low maintenance compared to carbon steel. That said, good habits still matter — rinse and dry after use, avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods, and never leave the knife wet. Use a wooden or soft plastic board to protect the edge, and hone or strop regularly to maintain performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003e––––––––––––––––––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2288\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2057\"\u003eBlade Length: 240mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eBlade Height: ~35–38mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003eSteel: VG10 Stainless\u003cbr data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003eConstruction: San Mai (stainless clad)\u003cbr data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2169\"\u003eFinish: Tsuchime\u003cbr data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003eHandle: [insert handle type if needed]\u003cbr data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2229\"\u003eWeight: [insert if known]\u003cbr data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2257\"\u003eOrigin: Sanjo, Niigata, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2308\"\u003e––––––––––––––––––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2453\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2329\"\u003eAge Restriction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2329\" data-end=\"2332\"\u003eThis product is strictly for sale to customers aged 18 or over.
