Masahiro Virgin Carbon 9.5 in. (240 mm) Left Handed Sujihiki

The Art of the Single Stroke: The Masahiro Virgin Carbon 240mm Left-Handed Sujihiki


For the left-handed chef, pitmaster, or host, a perfect slice is a mark of pride. The Masahiro Carbon 240mm Sujihiki is the specialist's tool, engineered to deliver that perfection. This is not a repurposed carving knife; it is a dedicated slicer forged with a true left-handed grind, designed to glide through roasts, brisket, and delicate fish in a single, effortless pass.


The long, narrow profile of the Sujihiki is purpose-built to minimize friction, preserving the integrity and moisture of the protein you've worked so hard to prepare. At its heart is Masahiro's legendary high-carbon steel, renowned for its ability to achieve and hold a surgical-grade edge that stainless steel simply cannot match. The critical feature, however, is the asymmetrical grind, tailored specifically for the left-handed user. This ensures the blade tracks perfectly straight, eliminating the frustrating steering and resistance common when using a right-handed slicer.


Like all true high-performance tools, this knife demands respect. It will develop a beautiful, protective patina over time—the visual story of countless magnificent meals. For the lefty who refuses to compromise on performance, this Sujihiki is the definitive instrument for the art of the slice.
