Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and performance of your Japanese knives. Here are a few tips to keep your blades in pristine condition. Sharpen regularly: Japanese knives should be sharpened periodically to maintain their sharpness. Using a whetstone or honing rod designed explicitly for Japanese knives is best. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sharpening and honing, or consider seeking the assistance of a professional knife sharpener. Sujihiki: The Sujihiki knife, also known as the slicing knife, is designed for precision slicing. Its long, narrow blade allows for clean, thin cuts, making it ideal for slicing raw fish for sashimi or carving roast meats.

Its long, thin blade allows for precise, delicate cuts, ensuring the fish retains its flavor and texture. In addition to their performance, chefs also favor Japanese knives for their aesthetic appeal.
