Toshihiro Wakui Sujihiki 240 mm Nashiji Shirogami#2

The Toshihiro Wakui Shirogami #2 Sujihiki knife reinterprets the classic Japanese Yanagiba knife, adapting it to Western preferences. With a 240 mm blade length, this tool is both long and slender, making it an ideal choice for slicing thin pieces, filleting fish, or meat. Toshihiro Wakui, once part of the Yoshikane Hamono team, now creates knives under his own name, which are gaining recognition among knife enthusiasts worldwide. Made from Shirogami #2 steel, these knives are characterized by exceptional blade precision, combining optimal thinness with hardness, providing the user with fluid and pleasant cutting. The Masashi Nashiji Shirogami#2 knife series is created based on the centuries-old SAN-MAI technique, where a hard carbon steel core is protected by layers of soft stainless steel, ensuring the blades’ strength and flexibility. After a specialized hardening process, the blades achieve a hardness of 63-64 HRC, which confirms their exceptional quality. The appearance of the Nashiji blade is distinguished by its characteristic Japanese design, which adds a unique aesthetic to the knives. The octagonal “WA” style handle, made of light magnolia wood, provides an ergonomic grip and comfort for both right- and left-handed users. Wakui knives, known for a perfect combination of traditional manufacturing methods with modern aesthetics, are seen as some of the most innovative and promising works in the field of knife forging, bringing with them a promise of quality, durability, and style.
