Shisei's AUS10 Sujihiki impresses with its lightweight and slim profile, offering nimble handling and a commendable level of sharpness right out of the box, coupled with a finely finished, even grind.

In terms of aesthetics, the suminagashi finish, a traditional Japanese technique resembling marbling on paper, adds a captivating visual element to the blade. Each knife boasts a unique appearance, making it a visually striking addition to any kitchen. The octagonal burned oak handle provides a beautiful contrast to the blade and enhances the overall elegance of the knife.

Handling the knife is a pleasure, thanks to its lightness, well-balanced design, and comfortable octagonal handle, making cooking a joyous experience.

While the AUS10 steel, which is stainless steel, shares similarities with VG10, it offers slightly more impact resistance, making it a suitable choice for those seeking both performance and easy sharpening. However, it's important to exercise caution with cutting techniques, especially considering that longer knives in the range may exhibit some lateral flex due to their thinness, favoring a more delicate approach.

Maintenance is straightforward—simply rinse and dry the knife after each use and store it appropriately, whether on a rack, in a saya or blade guard, or even in the presentation box.
