Japanese Sujihiki Knife 270mm Masamoto Shohonten 正本 総本店 最上 kitchen knife

This is a 270mm Japanese Sujihiki knife from the renowned brand Masamoto Shohonten (正本総本店), specifically their "Mogami" (最上) line.


The knife shows its age and use with a patina of light surface rust spots on the blade, adding character to its history. While it is not in new condition, its construction remains exceptionally solid and robust. A standout feature is its large handle, which provides a substantial, comfortable, and incredibly secure grip.


Professionally sharpened on whetstones to a razor-sharp, extreme edge, its performance is outstanding. It glides through meat and fish with effortless precision and minimal resistance. The blade is so keen that it can cleanly and smoothly slice through paper without hesitation.


This is a classic, well-maintained professional-grade knife, ready for serious culinary tasks.
