This sushi knife is a great tool for the home chef to use for slicing of long pieces of fish and vegetables. Similar to those used by traditional Japanese sushi chefs, the thin blade is sharpened on the right side only. A single edge cuts cleaner and faster than a double-edged knife.  The 7” advanced ceramic blade will stay ultra sharp at least 10 times longer than a steel blade, ensuring precision cuts every time. The advanced ceramic blade is also chemically inert, so no transfer of taste or smell and it will never rust. Packaged in a convenient lidded black box for easy access and storage.

Features and Benefits:

• Unrelenting Sharpness: The strength and density of advanced ceramic allow grinding to microscopic precision by diamond wheels. This hardness translates into a rock-like edge that will not roll like steel blades. Edge retention is the most significant benefit of using ceramic blades, which stay razor-sharp
  10 times longer than conventional steel blades, including high carbon steels.
   
• Unparalleled Purity: Ceramic is a pure and healthy alternative. Unlike steel blades, ceramic blades will never rust or change from its natural state. It is totally impervious to acids, juices, oils, salts or other elements. As a result, it will never alter the taste, smell or appearance of food.
   
• Ultra Lightweight: Kyocera ceramic cutlery is typically half the weight of equivalent knives, which require a full tang to achieve proper balance. Since the ceramic blade is so light, no artificial weight is added to the handle. This creates an extremely balanced, lightweight tool that becomes a comfortable extension of the hand, reducing fatigue during long, repetitive cutting tasks.
