Tanaka R2 Damascus Sujihiki 210mm/255mm, Japanese slicing knife
This sujihiki is a long slicer for carving meat and slicing fish in clean single strokes. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Tanaka with a damascus finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for carving and slicing proteins. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Best sujihiki I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.

My new go-to sujihiki. The balance is perfect and it holds an edge well.

The SG2/R2 powder stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
