At 240mm, the Kanehide PS60 Sujihiki occupies the shorter end of the sujihiki scale. It is a perfect choice for users with small kitchens or restricted board space. Regardless, it is still a formidable slicer.
Kanehide use a very special brew of PS60 steel to fashion this fine blade. While PS60 finds major usage in the making of razors, Kanehide enhances both the hardness and wear resistance by utilizing a special heat treating method followed by a cryogenic treatment using liquid nitrogen at minus 180 degrees celsius. The knife is a mono steel construction, so there is no cladding or other hybrid treatments. It is a very thin blade, as a slicer should be. The grind is asymmetrical with a right side bias at 70/30. The great looking blade is mated to an equally good looking handle made from rosewood with a very nice stainless bolster. The fit and finish of both the blade and the handle belie its affordable price.
We think that the Kanehide range of PS60 kitchen knives are some of the very best knives at their price point. In fact at well above their price points. If you are seeking a compact slicing knife with terrific looks and performance at a very reasonable price, we strongly suggest this knife.Maker: Kanehide

This knife is a scalpel right out of the envelope! Super light, great balance, and a comfortable handle made for a fantastic first run on the sushi bar. The size is perfect for a busy user as it doesn't get in the way. My head chef has to have one now! Thank you CKTG for the speedy service and quality products as always!
