Description: South Africa bladesmith Dave Skinner brings an exceptional level of work to his knives. Whether the knife is designed for the kitchen, for use out in the field, or for a collector, Skinner brings a refined eye and tremendous skill at the forge to his knives.
Sujihiki are slicers or carving knives that are well suited for slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the thin, long blade. Extremely sharp, suji are also well suited to preparing sushi and sashimi. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke, instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion. The result is a superior, clean cut.
The 8 inch blade features a hand forged VG-10 stainless steel core (hagane). This is surrounded by many layers of high contrast damascus. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty without the brittleness of many other high performing steels.
The frame-constructed handle is inspired the Japanese ambidextrous octagonal handle. The stabilized Angelim Pedra has a dramatic straight grain figure and will hold up well to the demands of a professional kitchen. A black G-10 spacer and nickel silver bolster seal the handle from water. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
