Know before you buy
No, this sashimi knife is sharpened exclusively on the right side. It is designed specifically for right-handed use to ensure the precision required for traditional Japanese slicing techniques.
This knife is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use to protect the high-carbon steel blade and maintain its edge.
The handle features a signature dimpled pattern that provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. Because it is seamlessly bonded to the blade, there are no crevices for food particles or bacteria to collect, making it highly hygienic.
While it is exceptionally sharp, this knife is specialized for sashimi and delicate slicing. Its thin, single-bevel blade is optimized for precision work like filleting fish and intricate tip-work, rather than heavy-duty chopping or cutting through bone.
The super-thin blade profile is engineered to minimize resistance as it passes through proteins. This allows for cleaner, faster slices that preserve the texture and integrity of delicate ingredients like raw fish.
