Sakai Takayuki 270mm Sujihiki TUS Stainless Steel

Sujihiki knives are super sharp fine slicing knives, and excel at slicing cooked and raw meats and fish. We also love sujihiki for doing fine work vegetable prep. The TUS series sujihiki features as modified kiritsuke style tip that make for even less drag when finishing a cut.

Sakai Takayuki's TUS series knives offer very thin stainless steel blades that hold and edge and are easy to re-sharpen. The stamped blades are made of high-carbon stain resistant Japanese steel, and the full tang riveted handles are made of durable pakka wood. We think these are an excellent choice as an introduction to Japanese knives and as an affordable professionals knife.

Sakai Takayuki knives are made by Aoki Hamono, one of the largest and most well known companies in Sakai, Japan. Sakai city has a long history of top quality knifemaking, and Sakai Takayuki's knives represent that history, working with top level local craftsmen to offer both the traditional and modern kitchen cutlery of the highest standards.
