The Sujihiki is a double edged 50/50 bevel knife with a pointed needle type tip it is mostly used as a slicer of meats and with a length from 210mm to 360mm it is perfect for larger cuts and joints of meat. I have used mine for cutting beef rumps, smoked salmon sides and cooked bone in rib eyes its a very versatile knife and is a must for any chef’s knife case.

The Tojiro DP range is a highly regarded line of Japanese kitchen knives known for their excellent balance of performance, durability, and affordability. These knives feature a core of VG-10 stainless steel, which offers exceptional edge retention and sharpness, sandwiched between softer stainless steel layers for added strength and ease of maintenance. The full-tang construction and triple-riveted Western-style handle provide a comfortable and secure grip, making them suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks. Tojiro DP knives are renowned for their razor-sharp edge right out of the box, their ability to hold an edge well, and their relatively easy sharpening process. This combination of high-quality materials and craftsmanship makes them a top choice for those seeking a reliable and well-priced Japanese knife.
