Kikuichi WG Series Elite Warikomi Gold 10.6-inch (270mm) Sujihiki

Kikuichi WG Series Elite Warikomi Gold 10.6-inch (270mm) Sujihiki

The 10.6-inch (270mm) Elite Warikomi Gold sujihiki is the long slicer of the series, made for prime rib, whole turkey breasts and sides of smoked salmon. A blade this long finishes each slice in one pull, which keeps the cut face smooth and the portions even.

Kikuichi pairs a hardened VG1 stainless edge with softer outer layers in a warikomi construction, and describes the line as light and comfortable, a real benefit on a long blade held through an evening of carving. The Western handle suits cooks who carve at a buffet station or a holiday table. Store it in a saya or a block slot deep enough for the full blade, since a long, thin tip is easy to bend in a crowded drawer.

270mm or 240mm?

The Elite Warikomi Gold 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki is easier to store and to maneuver through fish. A matching Kikuichi 270mm Sujihiki Magnet Saya protects the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and dry the knife right away. The stainless core resists rust, but do not leave the blade wet or soaking. Never use a dishwasher, and keep the thin edge off glass, stone and bone. Store it in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a Kikuichi saya.
