About the Maker - Jikko Hamono

Established in 1901 in the Japanese city of Sakai, Jikko Hamono (實光刃物) is considered as one of the top knife manufactures within the region. One of the unique aspects of Jikko’s knives is their “Hatsuke” method. “Hatsuke” is a special finishing method used to give the blades an even finer angle, making their knives even sharper and at the same time allowing the blade to remain sharper for longer.

About the Shape - Sujihiki

The Sujihiki (筋引) literally translates to "tendon slicer", meaning it is intended for slicing boneless protein such as meat or fish, or terrines. The thin and short height profile reduces friction when slicing.
