Sujihiki / Slicing

The sujihiki (or sujibiki) is a Japanese-style slicing knife with a thinner, sharper edge than Western versions. The long blade of the sujihiki is ideal for thinly carving cooked meats and slicing terrines and patés. The typical length of Sujihiki ranges between 210mm to 300mm (8.3 to 12 inch), where 270mm and 300 mm are the most common lengths to do effective slicing.
