Ichimonji AUS-8 Sujihiki Knife

8A-N Series : AUS8 Stianless Steel kitchen knife

Our 8A-N Series is designed for newcomers to Japanese kitchen knives, making it an excellent gift choice. These knives offer high rust resistance and are easy to sharpen. The AUS8 stainless steel used in this series is commonly found in professional kitchen knives. While it is not as hard as steels like Silver Steel #3 or VG-10, it is significantly easier to resharpen and use, making it perfect for your first Japanese knife. Our 8A-N Series has additional treating and tempering processes, giving them superior cutting ability over other knives using the same materials.
