Masamoto KS Hongasumi Sujihiki 240mm
About the Maker - Before Knifewear, many chefs would make a pilgrimage to Japan to acquire a super special knife for their collection—a Masamoto was what they were after. Masamoto Sohonten is a legendary Tokyo-based knifemaker, prized for their incredible quality and absurd thinness.
The KS Hongasumi are a single piece of Shirogami with no cladding steel! These are the definition of precision, crazy thin and light. These are what most folks are after when searching for a Masamoto knife.
About the shape - Sujihiki translates literally to 'Flesh Slicer' and it does exactly what the name suggests. It's perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion, and the reduced surface area prevents the blade from sticking to the meat. Clean slices of brisket or ultra thin applications like Carpaccio will become a breeze to execute.
