Kanehide PS60 Sujihiki 270mm
Kanehide are a well known brand of kitchen cutlery in Japan. They are located in the heart of Japanese knife making, Seki City. They are best known for their meat processing knives which are used to butcher, fillet and prepare all kinds of meat products. Many of their knives are single bevel designs made for specific cutting tasks.
They also make more general kitchen knives such as this lovely example of a Sujihiki. We are very enamored by their PS60 constructions, of which this is one. PS60 is a Hitachi made steel used widely in the razor blade industry. The alloy is very similar to AEB-L and 13C26 steels but Kanehide has found a way to further increase the hardness of this steel. They achieve this through special heat treating methods which, with the addition of cryogenic treatments, result in a highly wear resistant blade.
Sujihikis are Japanese versions of a western slicer. They are long and thin with a very fine tip. This Kanehide example is very thin at the spine as befitting a slicer. The length allows for single action cuts which reduces damage to the item being cut. The grind on the blade is right side biased 70/30. A really well made rosewood Yo handle and stainless steel bolster complete the picture with a very refined look.
This is a lot of knife for the money and one that we highly recommend.

Great knife. Excellent suggestion as usual , with blindingly fast delivery. LOVED IT. Took it out of the box, edge was 6/10, needed a finish on a fine stone, but worked well on a sushi prep line for 8 hrs straight after that with not issues. Worth the money
