Zanmai Sujihiki, 25cm
Mcusta · £237
Nice, but provisional
A 25cm slicer at 160 grams, which is remarkably light for the length, ground flat to 12 degrees with a secondary V-edge so it parts a joint of meat in one pass instead of sawing. The damascus is thirty three layers over VG10 and it looks it. What you give up is cover: two years, where the Kai knives have ten and the Eden has twenty five, on the dearest knife in the category.
- For
- Someone who carves at the table often enough to want a knife that only carves.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants one knife, or who would rather have the longer warranty for the money.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
