Shimomura Tsunouma 270 mm Stainless Steel Sujihiki Slicing Knife

The sujihiki profile places a long cutting edge behind a narrow blade, making it a focused choice for trimming and slicing meat. Use a steady drawing motion on a stable board rather than the short chopping strokes of a broad chef’s knife.

The blade measures 270 mm, while the complete knife is 390 mm long and weighs 120 g. Choose this slender slicer for portioning work, or a Tsunouma gyuto when your routine also calls for frequent vegetable chopping.

Hand wash after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then rinse and dry the blade, bolster and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden grip or leaving the knife wet in a sink; use a dishwasher only when the product is expressly marked as dishwasher-safe.

Work on a suitable cutting board and protect the edge during storage. Do not force or twist the blade through frozen food or hard bones. When the edge needs restoring, use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service suitable for the knife’s original edge geometry.
