Kikuichi Warikomi Gold 9.4 in. Sujihiki

Kikuichi Warikomi Gold Sujihiki:

Kikuichi’s Warikomi line uses high quality VG-1 sometimes known as V-Gold steel. This VG-1 (Gold) Steel is not only rare but it is highly prized due to its properties; will hold an edge (comparable to VG-10), it is tough and will chip less than a damascus clad knife, and is stain resistant. Warikomi is made San Mai style (manufactured with a soft stainless steel) like most VG steel knives; this is because the steel is so hard it would be difficult to thin and shape the blade without the softer steel coat. The Sujihiki is a light and nimble fillet knife and is commonly used to cut thin slices of beef and fish. This knife has a thin profile which is ideal for preparing rolls (maki) and sashimi.
