Description: Francisco Vaz lives in Rio Grande, Brazil. He has been making knives since 2017 and is a master of chef's knives. Each knife that he creates is a handmade, high-performance work of art. He grinds all of his knives by hand without the use of jigs and believes heavily in making his knives by hand.
Sujihiki are slicers or carving knives that are a perfect choice when slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the thin, long blade. Extremely sharp, they 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 hand ground blade is hand forged 14C28N stainless steel made by Sandvik in Sweden. 14C28N is tough, chip, resistant, highly corrosive resistant, and maintains good edge retention. The blade is satin finished in the grinds and forge finished on the flats to provide excellent food release. Francisco's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is Brazilian ebony set on the full tang for strength and durability. Brazilian ebony is highly prized for its jet black appearance. A central spacer is made from 24K gold flakes suspended in resin. White G-10 liners add a nice touch of contrast to the jet black scales. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
