V-Toku 2 / Stainless Steel Clad:
The knife is made from V-Toku 2 Carbon Steel, clad in Stainless Steel. V-Toku 2 is a high-carbon steel known for its excellent hardness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. It can take a razor-sharp edge and hold it for a long time, making it ideal for precision kitchen work. The exposed V-Toku 2 core is a reactive carbon steel, so proper care and maintenance are essential to prevent rust.
It’s recommended to wipe your blade regularly while working, especially when cutting acidic ingredients like onions, tomatoes, or citrus. After use, always wash and dry your knife thoroughly. Using paper towels is best, as they absorb moisture effectively. Over time, the exposed carbon core will develop a patina — a natural dark layer that helps protect the blade and gives it unique character.
Like most Japanese knives, this blade is made from harder steel than typical Western knives. While this allows for superior sharpness and edge retention, it also makes the blade more delicate. Avoid cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard materials like butternut stems and lemongrass to prevent chipping.

Sujihiki
Sujihiki Knife (筋引き出刃 – pronounced: Sujihiki Bōchō) literally translated from Japanese means ‘flesh slicer’. The name insinuates that it is perfect for slicing or carving meat which it was designed for initially. This is a composite between a Yanagiba and a Western-style carving knife.
The Sujihiki’s long, double bevelled blade allows for pull cutting in one clean motion using the blade from heel to tip. The length of the blade is perfect to cut up, carve or even butcher small to medium size animals or cuts of meat. The Sujihiki is also perfect for trimming sinew and fat from meat and filleting and skinning fish.
The Sujihiki has a relatively long and narrow blade with an acute edge angle with a narrow heel height. These components reduce the effort to cut through ingredients. For this reason, it is best to use a blade that is as long as your workspace will allow. The combination of cutting technique, acute blade angle, and sharp edge result in very little cellular damage in the cut surface.
Best for: Meat, Fish
