The Kanehide Bessaku Sujihiki 270mm is an unusual knife in many respects. Foremost among those is its amazing value coupled to its outstanding levels of construction and fit and finish.
The blade is made from a proprietary semi-stainless steel which Kanehide calls TK steel. This very interesting alloy is a bit like stainless with a bit of carbon, so it takes and holds a nice edge while being really easy to sharpen. Meanwhile as it is semi-stainless the normal maintenance routine associated with high carbon blades is reduced quite substantially. This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired. The knife is a mono steel construction and the steel is hardened to 60-61 HRC.
Although Kanehide calls this a sujihiki, that name is usually associated with a double-bevel design. This knife is ground on one side only, so could be regarded as a yanagiba more than the normal sujihiki-style slicer.
The blade has a lovely profile and the edge is well ground. Fit and finish are quite outstanding given its price point. So if you are looking for a versatile slicer that is easy to maintain and is easy on the pocket, you need look no further!Weight: 5.7 ounces
