Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of steel is used in this Japanese sushi chef knife?

A: The blade is crafted from high-quality clad steel — a multi-layer construction that bonds a hard core steel with softer outer layers. This gives the knife exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and long-term durability, making it ideal for precision slicing tasks like sushi and sashimi preparation.

Q: Is this sushi knife suitable for beginners or only professional chefs?

A: This hand-forged sushi slicing knife is designed to be approachable for confident home cooks while meeting the standards of professional kitchens. Its balanced weight (~199.5 g) and ergonomic 13 cm handle make it easy to control, whether you're a seasoned chef or an enthusiastic home cook exploring Japanese knife techniques.

Q: How should I care for and maintain this clad steel knife?

A: To preserve the blade's sharpness and integrity, hand wash only — avoid dishwashers, as harsh detergents and heat cycles can damage the clad steel and handle. Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. Periodically hone the edge with a whetstone suited for Japanese knives to keep the 60°+ blade angle performing at its best.
