Yoshihiro Cutlery is a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives. All Yoshihiro knives are handcrafted by artisans with a lineage spanning centuries. The techniques used to create Yoshihiro knives date back to medieval Japanese swordsmiths who perfected the technique of handling fire, iron, and water. Our selections are a culmination of seven centuries of tradition intertwining with modern innovation inspired by Japanese ingenuity.
The Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Sujihiki Japanese Slicer Knife is handcrafted in Japan. It is forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 core. This knife is a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
The Sujihiki is a slicing knife with a long narrow blade that smoothly slices through meat or vegetables while preserving the integrity of each ingredient's freshness. It can carve and fabricate large roasts, meats, fish, and is ideal for thinly slicing ingredients like cucumbers or smoked salmon. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with this handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
The blade is made of VG-10 steel, a Japanese stainless steel often used in high-end Japanese cutlery. It has exceptional hardness, surpassing most other stainless steel cutlery on the market. This hardness allows for a thinner cutting edge, making the blade sharper and enabling it to cut through almost any ingredient effortlessly. The blade is also clad in hammered Damascus steel, which adds toughness and durability while eliminating friction and preventing food from sticking to the blade.
Proper care and sharpening are essential for Japanese knives. Sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones only. Hand wash and dry immediately, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
The Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Sujihiki Japanese Slicer Knife features a stain-resistant VG-10 steel core and outer Damascus steel. This means that the knife resists rust formation when left wet. The blade's thinness contributes to its lightness, making it easy to maneuver and use.
The knife comes with a protective wooden sheath called a Saya, which not only protects the knife but also enhances its appearance when not in use. It is complemented by a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted octagonal handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for seamless use.
This knife is perfect for both commercial kitchens and home use. It embodies traditional Japanese knife-making values, requiring attention and care to maintain its sharp edge. It is stain-resistant and made in Japan using the finest craftsmanship techniques.
