About Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun - Seki Kanetsugu is a knife maker in Seki, whose ancestor was a famous swordsmith Kanetsugu (1336-1392). The company itself was founded in 1918 and celebrated their 100 year anniversary in 2018. To celebrate their 100th year, they launched this knife line called “Zuiun”. This beautiful piece is made with SG2 with 62 layers of stainless Damascus outside. The blade is sharpened very thin and the taper is beautiful. Heptagon shaped handle is made with pakka wood for its strength. Although this is considered to be a machine-forged knife, it is perhaps at the highest level.

About the Shape - “Sujihiki” translates to “Flesh Slicer” and it does exactly what the name suggests, perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins and the extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke, instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion. Making clean slices of brisket or ultra-thin applications like Carpaccio a breeze to execute.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Awesome

"Looking good, light, extremely sharp, like my Katana"

— Serguei E. (5/5)

Amazing

"My first foray into high end knives after 15+ years on the same cheap set. I've hardly had a chance to use the long boi, as I picked up the 4pc set, but it slices beautifully. They are absolutely gorgeous, and crazy sharp. Time will tell how the edge holds."

— Chris G. (5/5)

Knife is absolutely beautiful and

"Knife is absolutely beautiful and very user friendly. Better yet is purchasing the knife, everyone at knifewear is very knowledgeable and soooo friendly, great experience!!!"

— Darrin K. (5/5)

Ultimate Sujihiki

"A functional work of art. Spectacular blade with brilliant Damascus. Very comfortable and ergonomically designed septagon handle. Slicing taken to the next level."

— Daniel (5/5)

Nice blade, terrible handle

"This blade cut amazingly, light and fast. Unfortunately the handle is just so bad it takes all the joy out of using it. The handle edges are almost as sharp as the blade and creates hot spots on my hand when using it. It is also too small in diameter for such a long blade, feels very front heavy. At this price I would think these problems wouldn't be so obnoxious, it's 2xs the price of my other knifes and is almost unusable because of the handle. Can't return because I honed it out of the box. Will be more careful in the future when looking at 'cool' looking knifes."

— Zayen (2/5)

Excellent quality

"Bought this as a gift for my brother. Everything about it exudes quality and craftsmanship. It is extremely easy to care for and months later, still cuts like a dream. Knifewear offers unparalleled selection of quality knives at great prices. I'll be keeping my eye on their stock in the future, you can count on it."

— James A. (5/5)

Super sharp, stunning knife

"I bought this slicer and matching petty while in Japan, and was surprised that they are pretty rare to find in Canada. Knifewear has great selection, and these knives are stunning, sharp and stay sharp. After a few months of use, under microscope the blade is still brilliantly sharp"

— blue (5/5)

very nice knife and easy to use, well completed my collection here in Montreal!!!

"amazing blade!!!"

— Philippe L. (5/5)

Q&A

Is there ANY possible way to get this knife in a 270mm length?
Hey there, sadly there is no chance of a 270mm on this knife, the maker only makes very limited shapes in any of their lines and doesn't offer a custom shapes or sizes sadly. It is a beatiful knife, even if it is a little shorter than you want! - Ellie
