Sujihiki (lit. muscle pulling, meaning muscle or tendon cutter) is the Japanese adaptation of Western-style slicers. These knives are made thinner and shorter than chef's knives, nakiri and santoku in order to minimize friction while slicing meat and fish. Some chefs will use this style of knife to prepare sashimi and sushi in lieu of a yanagi-ba for its favorable maintenance requirements versus single bevel knives.

Carbon steel knives will rust if not maintained properly. Use the Rust Remover to clean oxidized blades.
