Kikuichi GW Series Ginsan Sanmai 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki

The GW Series is Kikuichi’s plainest Ginsan line, a three-layer (sanmai) blade with a Silver-3 stainless core that Kikuichi deliberately leaves without a hammered or damascus finish. On this 9.4-inch (240mm) sujihiki, that simplicity puts the attention on the cut.

Those qualities, which Kikuichi sums up as thin, strong and precise, are clearest in a narrow slicer working through raw fish and rare beef. A walnut wa handle keeps the knife light, and the 240mm length handles a typical roast or fish loin in a single pull. Hone it gently before each use, and wipe the blade between cuts of fish. It suits sushi cooks and home cooks who slice sashimi and want a stainless edge that is easy to maintain.


240mm or 270mm?

The GW Series 10.6-inch (270mm) Sujihiki adds length for larger work. For a matching gyuto in Ginsan steel, see the GN Series 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto.

    Care

    Wash by hand and dry the blade and handle right away. Do not soak the knife; water can work into the joint between the blade and the wa handle. Never use a dishwasher, keep the thin edge off bone and frozen food, and store the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a saya.
