Suncraft Senzo Black 8.3-inch (210mm) Sashimi Knife

Suncraft names this 8.3-inch Senzo Black knife a sashimi knife, a long, narrow slicer for cutting raw fish in a single drawing stroke. One pull through a block of tuna or salmon leaves a smooth, glossy face that sawing would tear.

The same blade slices a roast or a duck breast into thin, even portions, so it works beyond the sushi board. A VG10 core holds the fine edge that clean slicing requires, and each knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city with an 800-year legacy of blade making. With its black Damascus pattern and octagonal handle, it is a dramatic knife for home sushi makers and a standout gift.

    Care

    Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry the knife right away; Suncraft advises against the dishwasher. Use a wood or soft plastic cutting board, keep the edge away from bones and frozen food, and maintain it on whetstones. The black finish is a surface treatment, so avoid abrasive pads on the blade face.
