Know before you buy
The 8 1/2-inch blade is designed for long, clean, single-stroke cuts. This minimizes the back-and-forth sawing motion that can tear delicate fish, ensuring the texture of your sashimi remains intact.
The coating reduces friction as the blade passes through ingredients, preventing sticky items like rice or raw fish from clinging to the side of the knife. This allows for more precise, uninterrupted slicing.
While optimized for fish and sushi, the high-carbon stainless steel blade is sharp enough for general kitchen prep. However, the non-stick coating is best preserved by avoiding heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bone or frozen foods.
To protect the coating, always hand wash the knife with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then dry it immediately. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or putting the knife in the dishwasher, as these can degrade the non-stick surface over time.
Yes. While it is stainless steel, high-carbon blades can still develop surface rust if left wet. Always wipe the blade dry immediately after washing and store it in a dry place to maintain its edge and finish.
