Yoshihiro HGB SK4 sujihiki 240 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 HGB line is crafted using traditional Sakai techniques and features SK4 carbon steel, known for its sharpness and durability. These knives are migaki finished and are equipped with a comfortable and durable brown Pakka handle, combining modern performance with classic craftsmanship.

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.
