Touroku Sakai Yukage Sujihiki 240mm
About Touroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
I never get sick of looking at this knife. It’s so pretty. I've always said a good knife should inspire you to cook, and this one definitely inspires me. When it comes time to cut, you’re in good hands thanks to the VG10 steel in the blade. It keeps an obscenely sharp edge but doesn’t require a bunch of care like some other fancy knives do. The wooden octagonal handle is very traditional and very comfortable. I find the grooves lock into my hand, making the knife feel like an extension of my wrist.
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.
