The Sujihiki is a double-bevel slicing knife for portioning and slicing proteins. It can be used for sashimi, sushi, roasts, and larger cuts of meat.

White Steel is the purest of the Japanese high -carbon steels made by Hitachi Metals. It can be forged to extremely high hardness, sharpened extremely easily (even for novices), and takes a scalpel like edge with ease. Being this pure and lacking any stainless properties, this steel is very reactive and will rust quickly if not dried after use, and oiled between uses.
