He began making knives from scratch about 10 years ago, with nothing but a workshop full of equipment and no mentor. He is completely self-taught, yet he mastered techniques to forge-weld steels in house, even forge welding stainless steel which is no easy task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful Damascus pattern is created and hand forged with Aogami #2 and soft carbon steel by holding multiple times by Manaka-san. He then forge-welds Aogami #1 in the middle for the core steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the shape -\u003c\/b\u003e Sujihiki translates literally to 'Flesh Slicer' and it does exactly what the name suggests. It's perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion, and the reduced surface area prevents the blade from sticking to the meat. Clean slices of brisket or ultra thin applications like Carpaccio will become a breeze to execute.\n","brand":"Manaka Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47276019253422,"sku":"MNKKOKUENN280SU","price":2890.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/KisukeManakaKOKUENNSujihiki280mm1.jpg?v=1774622894","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/products\/kisuke-manaka-kokuenn-sujihiki-280mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
