Suncraft Senzo Twisted Octagon 8.3-inch (210mm) Sashimi Knife

Raw fish is the specialty of this 8.3-inch Twisted Octagon knife, which Suncraft names a sashimi knife, a long, narrow slicer made to cut raw fish in a single, drawing stroke. One pull through a block of tuna or salmon leaves a smooth, glossy face, because the edge is not sawed back and forth.

The same length slices a roast or a duck breast into thin, even portions, so the knife earns a place beyond the sushi board. It is the most popular knife in the line, made for precise slicing, from carving holiday roasts and delicate gravlax to wafer-thin slices of charcuterie. Its VG10 core holds the fine edge that clean slicing requires. The Damascus cladding and octagonal white handle match the rest of the series. Home sushi makers and cooks who carve at the table will find it a precise, elegant slicer.

    Care

    Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry the knife right away. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Use a wood or soft plastic cutting board, and keep the thin, hard edge away from bones, frozen food and twisting cuts. Maintain the edge on whetstones.
