Discover the exceptional Kisuke x Xinguo ATS34 Sujihiki, a premium Japanese kitchen knife that represents a masterful collaboration between two renowned artisans. This 270mm slicer features a hand-forged ATS-34 stainless core steel blade using traditional hon-warikomi construction by Kisuke Manaka, a Sanjo master with decades of experience. The blade is then meticulously finished by Xinguo, whose immaculate sharpening and polishing work eliminates all visible machining lines, creating an extremely straight edge and a comfortable, rounded choil and spine. The deep tsuchime (hammered) texture across the blade face not only adds striking visual character but also enhances food release, while the high-polish mirror kasumi finish is a rare and beautiful touch.
