What is the primary use of a Sujihiki knife?
The Sujihiki is a Japanese-style slicer primarily used for slicing boneless meats, carving roasts, and preparing sashimi.
Where is this knife manufactured?

What is the blade length?

Should I sharpen it with a steel or a stone?
A whetstone is recommended for maintaining the fine edge of this Japanese blade to ensure optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull after heavy use.
Use a high-quality whetstone to professionally hone the edge. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners which can damage the blade geometry.
Small spots or discoloration appear on the blade.
This is often surface oxidation from moisture. Clean the blade with a soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleanser, then dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SL-115, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Never put this knife in a dishwasher. The high heat and harsh chemicals can damage the edge and the handle material.
- Immediate Drying: Always wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry the knife immediately after use to prevent corrosion.
- Safe Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, magnetic strip, or a protective sheath to keep the blade edge protected from contact with other metal objects.
- Usage Limitations: Only use the knife for boneless meats. Do not attempt to hack through poultry bones, cartilage, or frozen ingredients as this will chip or snap the blade.
