This is the popular and highly rated classic series made from 5160 leaf spring carbon steel. Ideal for anyone looking to make a step forward into the world of Japanese Carbon Steel knives, but are skeptical about the care level on a knife that could break the bank. With a high performing but reactive blade that requires care, they are known as the affordable top-selling knives.
The 100% handmade classic series features a finish that must be appreciated by its owner - while they show their true handmade characters and each knife is slightly different, up to including various handle wood shadings, they are considered an ideal platform for anyone looking to experiment sharpening, thinning or even polishing carbon steel.
Suijihiki Sakimaru knives are easily differentiated due to their Katana like blade tip (Sakimaru). Designed as a sword for tasks that require a long blade to slice thin, it's well known by sashimi enthusiasts. It had been popularized in America and now even used as a utility slicer for briskets, smoked salmon, ham and other meats.
