That heritage is still evident in the precision, character and attention to detail found in their knives today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the Sujihiki counterpart to our Nigara Gyuto (TAK.2026.002) — the same maker, the same steel and the same philosophy, expressed through two distinctly different profiles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted in Japan with a Super Blue (Aogami Super) carbon steel core and soft iron cladding, this Sujihiki offers the edge retention, sharpness and responsive cutting feel sought by serious chefs and collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe long, slender Sujihiki profile is purpose-built for clean, effortless slicing.
