Kitchen Knives
Basic Models Sujihiki (Made To Order)
Price range: $205.00 through $230.00“Basic Models” knives are made to order in intervals of 8 weeks, or 10 orders, whichever comes first
These are my “Basic Models Sujihiki”, like the “Basic Models” gyutos, santokus, bunka, nakiri and cleavers they are the most basic and affordable knives I can produce
They feature:
-Burned oak handles from reclaimed wood
-Low, high bevels
-Convex zero grinds, hand sharpened
-Nail flexing edges
-As quenched finishes
-1.6mm blade stock
-Forward balance
-~38/39mm tall
-AEB-L stainless steel or 52100 Carbon steel
-Rounded spines and choils
-Weights in the <180g range (150gr for a 270mm)
-Excellent food release
-Cutting ability close to more extensively ground blades
– ~$225 CAD and below price point for most offeringsI have tested the Basics Models sujihiki and I have to say, part of me is a bit irritated at just how well they do considering how rough they are. They aren’t pretty, and they’re not intended to be, and tip cuts aren’t quite as smooth as they would be on blades with more taper, but these are undoubtedly performers.
*Basic Models” knives generally feature some dimpling from mechanical straightening.

Sujihiki (Slicer)
230mm Wrought Iron San-Mai Sujihiki
$648.00A 230mm Wrought Iron San-Mai Sujihiki
(Written June 2023) Here I have a first for me, a wrought iron san-mai sujihiki with a birdseye maple handle. I had originally set out to make a 270mm, but owing to a very thin core and .008″ of offset in my drawing dies I ended up with a 2mm wide place in the edge where the cladding crossed the core, so I had to shorten it. Nevertheless I would say my first foray into forging wrought iron san mai went well, and I look forward to using more of this material in the future. This wrought exhibits a lot of character, even a somewhat frosty look up close, and as I discovered during the etch, patinas with some variation in colour. I’ll be very interested to see how it looks after slicing up a hot roast or two.

- Blade: 234mmx40mm wrought clad 52100 san-mai (~64 hrc),1200 grit finish, etch and polish
- Neck: 17mmx18mm

Sujihiki (Slicer)
270mm Wootz Sujihiki
$50.00A 270mm Wootz Sujihiki
I recently developed the capacity to produce crucible steel (wootz) and so this one of the first of many yet to come. It’s a very labour intensive process but very satisfying. This blade has a calculated 1.90%-1.95% carbon which is on the higher end for crucible steel. The pattern is quite fine and exhibits a faint ladder pattern. I’ll attempt watered patterns on future blades. There’s really no describing the full extent of the detail in steel like this, it’s just packed. I look forward to experimenting with other patterns and compositions.
I’m short on maker’s mark stamps at the moment so I’ll be reserving the few I have left for completed customs and purchased blades. If this blade sells I’ll add it on prior to shipping.
Blade Details
- Blade: 272mmx41mm 190%-1.95% C wootz (64/65hrc) -1200 grit hand finish+etch and polish
