Long, narrow, and thin, it is designed to reduce friction and produce clean, precise slices of meat and fish. Compared to general‑purpose knives like a gyuto, santoku, or nakiri, a sujihiki is optimized specifically for slicing rather than chopping. Some chefs also use sujihiki knives for sashimi and sushi preparation, as their double‑bevel construction makes them easier to maintain than traditional single‑bevel yanagiba knives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67758093336945,"sku":"52535","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/7459\/9281\/files\/52535_Sakai_Takayuki_TUS_Steel_Kiritsuke_Sujihiki_270mm.jpg?v=1792281865","url":"https:\/\/asc-forge.com\/products\/sakai-takayuki-tus-steel-sujihiki-270mm","provider":"ASC Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
