Trade in sujihiki in good condition without original packaging. Mono stainless steel blade with pakka wa-style handle.

If you want a Japanese style grind but can't have wooden handles, this is it. The 180mm length makes for a versatile line knife while being low maintenance. The edge retention on the AUS-8 steel could be better but new edges set up quickly. Comes with fresh BC edge.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
