The Kanetsune Sujihiki KC-955 is more than a knife—it's a precision instrument designed to bring restaurant-grade slicing into your kitchen, balcony grill, or camp kitchen. Crafted in Japan with time-honored steel-working traditions, this dedicated slicer excels at delivering clean, controlled cuts across a wide range of foods. Why this sujihiki stands out

13.25-inch overall length provides the leverage you need for carving, trimming, and portioning with confidence, whether you’re preparing a seafood feast or a weekend roast.
DSR-1K6 HC stainless steel brings durable edge retention and corrosion resistance, so this knife stays sharp and dependable in daily use—in the kitchen or out on the grill.
Warm wood handle with a protective plastic guard delivers a secure, comfortable grip and added safety during handling and transport.
Made in Japan—a mark of meticulous craftsmanship, balanced geometry, and thoughtful details that support precise, repeatable cuts from the first slice to the last.
Gifting-ready packaging arrives boxed, making it an easy premium gift for chefs, seafood lovers, or serious home cooks.

Practical tips for peak performance and longevity
Hand wash and dry promptly after use to preserve the blade’s finish and edge. The combination of stainless steel and a hammered finish rewards careful maintenance. Hone regularly to keep the edge keen for precise slicing sessions, whether you’re working with fish, poultry, or red meats. Store in a protective sheath or boxed packaging to prevent nicks during transit or long-term storage. Use a proper cutting board and avoid cutting through bone or frozen items to extend the life of the edge.
