With a hardness level of 63-64 HRC done with superior quality even by Japanese artisan standard, this handcrafted sujihiki / long petty knife by master blacksmith Nobuo Hanaki has superb edge retention, excellent edge geometry and extremely thinness behind-the-edge, ensuring a smooth cutting performance.

Care:
Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Cutting Surface:
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong the knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.
Sharpening:
We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.
