Sujihiki (Slicing Knife)

The Sujihiki is the Japanese version of the slicing knife, but tends to have a thinner blade, sharper edge than Western versions. The long blade of the Sujihiki is ideal for thinly carving cooked and raw meats, as well as slicing terrines and patés. Some Sushi chefs prefer to use a Sujihiki instead of a Yanagi to slice Sashimi or fillet fish.
