Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Sujihiki Slicing Knife

Long, Clean Slices in a Single Stroke

The Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Sujihiki is a long, narrow slicer for cooks who portion and carve. Its length allows a full slice in one continuous draw, and the narrow blade presents less surface to the food, leaving clean faces on roasts, fish and terrines. It is the slicing knife for the Miyabi Black kitchen, used wherever a sawing motion would tear the cut.

Construction and Performance

• Ultra-hard core steel. A fine-grained powder steel holds a keen edge across many portions, keeping slices smooth from the first cut to the last.


• Ice-hardened blade. Sub-zero hardening stabilizes the steel for added hardness and corrosion resistance, an advantage when slicing acidic or brined foods.


• Flower Damascus cladding. Stainless layers protect the hard core along the full length of the blade.


• Honbazuke edge. The three-stage hand-honed edge severs fibers cleanly rather than compressing them, preserving the texture of raw fish and rare meat.


• D-shaped handle. The traditional Japanese profile keeps the blade aligned through long draws. Each handle’s grain and color are unique.

Best Uses

• Carving roasts, brisket, ham and turkey breast


• Slicing sashimi and crudo


• Portioning salmon and tuna loins


• Slicing terrines and pâtés


• Trimming silver skin from boneless cuts

For chopping and general prep, the Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Chef’s Knife offers the same length with a taller blade. For crusty bread, use the serrated Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Bread Knife.
