Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this Japanese sashimi knife different from a regular chef's knife?
A: Unlike a standard chef's knife, this Japanese sashimi slicing knife features a longer, thinner blade (21 cm) with a blade angle greater than 60°, designed specifically for smooth, single-stroke cuts through fish and delicate proteins. This minimises tearing and preserves the texture of sashimi-grade ingredients.
Q: Is this knife suitable for beginners as well as experienced cooks?
A: Yes. The 11.5 cm handle provides a comfortable, balanced grip that works well for both beginner home cooks and seasoned kitchen enthusiasts. The knife's length and weight distribution make controlled slicing intuitive with a little practice.
Q: How should I maintain the blade to keep it sharp?
A: Always hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately — avoid the dishwasher, which can dull or warp the steel. Hone the blade regularly with a ceramic or whetstone rod, and store it on a magnetic strip or in a protective sheath to maintain its razor-sharp edge.
