An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Sujihiki knife, a traditional Japanese slicer, is designed for carving and fileting. With its long, narrow blade, typically ranging from 240mm to 330mm, it excels in creating clean, smooth cuts through meat and fish. Its length ensures long, uninterrupted strokes, making it perfect for precise slicing tasks.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information
Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Though not widely known internationally, Shiro Kamo holds a highly respected position among Japan’s knife-making elite. Awarded the prestigious title of Dento-Kogeshi (Master of Traditional Crafts) at just 45, a rare honour shared by only a handful of artisans in the Echizen area, including masters like Takeshi Saji and Katsushige Anryu, Kamo-san’s skill and dedication to traditional craftsmanship are exceptional.

Currently serving as the president of the renowned Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, Kamo-san produces knives admired for their consistently precise grinds, refined blade finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. His expertise with steels, particularly his celebrated heat treatment of R2 stainless steel, ensures blades with phenomenal cutting performance and outstanding edge retention.
