Knife Model Introduction
⭕️Sujibiki: A Japanese slicing knife commonly used for cutting fish, especially in sushi and sashimi preparation. The Kengata Sujibiki combines design elements from the Sakimaru (tapered tip) and Takohiki (straight-edged long blade), making it ideal for precision cutting, such as slicing ultra-thin fish fillets.
The Sakimaru's rounded tip aids in precise cuts, while the Takohiki's straight edge minimizes damage to the fish during slicing. This knife is highly regarded among professional Japanese chefs and is also popular among culinary enthusiasts and collectors for its elegant appearance and superior performance.
