Yoshihiro 1141 8A stainless steel sujihiki 270 with a pakka handle

The sujihiki, meaning “flesh slicer,” is Japan’s take on the carving knife, crafted for precise, fluid slicing of meat and fish. Its long, slender blade glides through cuts, preserving texture and presentation. Now valued in kitchens globally, it combines Japanese precision with Western practicality.

The Yoshihiro 1141 line is made of resilient 8A steel and features a clean migaki finish. These knives are incredibly thin yet strong, offering excellent precision while remaining forgiving during use, making them a reliable tool for both beginners and experienced chefs.

Yamawaki Hamono Seisakusho, a family-run workshop founded in 1927 in Sakai, Japan, has been perfecting Japanese knife-making for nearly a century.

In addition to crafting these exceptional knives, Yamawaki actively educates future chefs and knife makers, helping to preserve Sakai’s cultural heritage while keeping Japanese knife-making relevant for today’s kitchens.
