Kikuichi GW Series Ginsan Sanmai 10.6-inch (270mm) Sujihiki

A 10.6-inch (270mm) sujihiki is a professional slicer, long enough for a side of salmon or a large holiday roast, and Kikuichi’s GW Series version is one of the Kikuichi slicers shoppers visit most on our site. Its three-layer blade wraps a Ginsan (Silver-3) stainless core in SUS440 cladding.

Kikuichi leaves the GW blades free of decorative finishes so the steel and geometry carry the knife. The long, narrow profile slices with a single draw and leaves a clean face on fish and meat, and its octagonal walnut grip keeps the weight down on a knife this long. Professional sushi and carving cooks reach for this length, and it serves home cooks who regularly slice large cuts or cure and slice their own gravlax.


Choosing a Ginsan Slicer

For a shorter slicer, choose the GW Series 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki. The Kikuichi 270mm Sujihiki Magnet Saya protects the long edge.

    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.
