Minamoto Kotetsu Sujihiki by Yasuda Hamono

The Minamoto Kotetsu range of premium Japanese knives is renowned for their sharpness, durable steel, and excellent construction and performance—a great choice for any cook or chef.

These knives feature 33 layers of Damascus VG10 steel, crafted through a unique forging process, resulting in a beautiful and elegant wave pattern known as the Damascus pattern.

The Sujihiki is an adaptation of the western chef knife profile designed for the Japanese market. It is a double-edged slicing knife with a long, narrow blade that smoothly slices through meat or vegetables, preserving the freshness of each ingredient. The narrow blade and relatively acute edge angle of the Sujihiki are features that significantly reduce the effort required to cut through ingredients.

Seki-City, a small town with a history dating back 800 years, is famous worldwide for its production of fine knives. Once prosperous as the land of Japanese swords, Seki gained recognition for the superior quality of its swords, earning a reputation as a sword-making center. The techniques and skills of traditional Japanese sword making have been passed down and continue to thrive in today’s modern cutlery industry.
