The sushikiri is a specialized knife designed specifically for slicing sushi rolls, or makimono. Its long, symmetrically curved blade is engineered to cut through nori, rice, and fillings in a single rolling motion from back to front and front to back, without crushing or disturbing the contents of the roll. Unlike a yanagi or other slicers, the sushikiri's distinctive rounded tip and even belly make it uniquely suited for this task, and it has become an essential tool in high-volume sushi kitchens worldwide. The blade is forged from Ginsanko steel, a stain-resistant alloy created by adding 13% chromium to high-quality white steel, giving it the sharpness and feel of a carbon steel knife with significantly better rust resistance and easier day-to-day maintenance. The handle is octagonal yew wood with a water buffalo horn ferrule. This knife is sold without saya. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBrand: Korin Japanese Trading Corp. \u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Suisin, Sakai, Japan \u003cbr\u003eSKU: HKR-G3SK-225\/NS \u003cbr\u003eKnife type: Sushikiri (sushi roll slicer), double bevel, V-shaped edge \u003cbr\u003eBlade steel: Ginsanko (Silver-3), stain-resistant, 13% chromium \u003cbr\u003eBlade length: 225mm (8.8\") \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Octagonal yew wood with water buffalo horn ferrule \u003cbr\u003eSaya: Not included \u003cbr\u003eRetail price (with saya): $768.00 at korin.com \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare notes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHand wash and dry immediately after each use. While Ginsanko resists rust and staining better than carbon steel, food acids and salt can erode its protective chromium-oxide layer if left on the blade. Not dishwasher safe. Do not use on frozen food, bones, or hard seeds. Do not use a honing steel. Sharpen on a whetstone only. Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll — without a saya, the edge should be protected during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628073697419,"sku":"007224","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/5332\/8267\/files\/IMG_7107.jpg?v=1782259055","url":"https:\/\/donnaskitchenconsignment.com\/products\/korin-ginsanko-sushikiri-225mm-f2ed","provider":"Donna's Kitchen Consignment LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
