Kikuichi WDT Series Warikomi Damascus Tsuchime 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki

Slicing roasts and fish is the job of a sujihiki, and the WDT24S gives that job a 9.4-inch (240mm) blade of hammered damascus over a VG10 core. Shoppers search for it as the Kikuichi WDT Series Warikomi Damascus Tsuchime sujihiki.

A sujihiki is narrower than a gyuto, so it meets less resistance in the cut and leaves a smooth face on brisket and sashimi. Kikuichi notes that the tsuchime finish helps release food, which keeps thin slices of fish or cured meat from clinging as they come off the blade. With a Western mahogany-dyed birch handle, it suits cooks who want a Japanese slicer without changing their grip, whether at a carving station or at home for the holidays.

Pairing With a Gyuto

Its damascus pattern matches the WDT 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto, and a Kikuichi 240mm Sujihiki Magnet Saya keeps the edge covered in a drawer or knife bag.
