Benefits

A blade of 63 layers of Damascus steel: The blade is 63-layer Damascus steel, with stainless steel layers on the outside and a core between them, as the diagram in the listing shows. The layers give the blade a rippled pattern and a clean, stainless surface.

A molybdenum-vanadium steel core inside stainless layers: The listing names the blade material as molybdenum-vanadium steel, shown in the diagram as the core between two stainless layers. That structure pairs a core made for cutting with outer layers that resist staining.

A laminated reinforced wood handle with three rivets: The handle is laminated reinforced wood in a dark red-brown, held by three rivets and joined to the blade with a steel bolster. The laminated build resists moisture better than plain wood and keeps its shape.

A 240 mm blade at a listed weight of 175 grams: The listing gives a 240 mm blade, 360 mm overall length and a body weight of 175 g. Those figures tell you exactly how the knife will handle before you order it from us.

A long slim 240 mm sujihiki for carving and slicing: The blade is 240 mm long in the slim sujihiki shape. It carves roasts and fish into thin, clean slices with a smooth pull, and at 175 g the long knife stays light and easy to control.

A knife the listing states is made in Japan: The listing gives Japan as the country of origin, and the maker is based in Tsubame, Niigata, a city known for metalware. We ship every knife directly from Japan, packed carefully for the journey.

How to Use

Who Is This For

The Kyoto-Damascus Cook: You want a layered Damascus sujihiki that stays light and sharp. A plain single-steel blade feels heavy and loses its edge, and that is not your fault. Our Kyoto sujihiki gives you a 240 mm blade of 63-layer Damascus steel around a molybdenum-vanadium core and a laminated wood handle, at 175 g. It measures 360 mm overall, and the listing states that it is made in Japan. Choose it when you carve roasts and fish into thin, clean slices, and you will have the facts you need before you order.
