Dieses klassische Sujihiki 300 mm im japanischen Stil von Martin Huber ist atemberaubend und die Leistung wird mit diesem herausragenden Werk aus den Charts herausragen.

Martin hat dieser Klinge eine ernsthafte Geometrie gegeben, mit einem Rücken, der sich von 5 mm bis 1 mm kurz vor der nadelartigen Spitze verjüngt, einem schönen Satz konvexer Abschrägungen und einer absolut rasiermesserscharfen Kante wird dieses Ding einige der Besten übertreffen. Im Kern wurde der mit Wolfram legierte Kohlenstoffstahl 1.2519 auf 65+ gehärtet, wodurch Sie eine Klinge erhalten, die eine superscharfe und widerstandsfähige Schneide annimmt.

Martin ist ein Meister in der Herstellung von laminierten Stählen, wobei einige der schönsten Kombinationen aus seiner österreichischen Werkstatt stammen. Dieses Messer ist absolut keine Ausnahme, mit einer auffälligen, schwarzen und silbernen Damastbeschichtung, einer Nickeldiffusionsschicht und dem superharten 1.2519-Kern ist dies ein wunderschönes Stück Stahl.

Gepaart mit einem schönen Stück stabilisierter geschweifter Akazie, mit einem Mammut-Abstandshalter für Backenzähne, Nickeleinlagen und einer Zwinge aus Mooreiche. Der Griff ist selbst ein wunderschönes Kunstwerk und die beiden zusammen ergeben eines der schönsten Sujihiki, die wir je gesehen haben.

Blade type

Sujihiki

筋引

A long, slender slicing knife — typically 240 to 300 mm — and the Japanese equivalent of a Western carving knife. The narrow blade and long, straight edge are built to part cooked and raw proteins in a single smooth draw, producing clean slices with minimal sawing and minimal tearing of the surface. Height is kept low so the blade tracks straight through the cut.

A sujihiki is a specialist, and a worthwhile one for anyone who carves roasts, portions fish, or slices proteins regularly. Its length and narrowness make it poor for general board work and chopping, so it lives alongside a chef's knife rather than instead of one. The reward for that dedicated slot is slices a shorter, taller knife simply cannot match.

Cutting edge steel

1.2519

Low-alloy tungsten-chromium tool steel

Typical HRC
62–65
Corrosion class
Carbon
Production
Conventional
Origin
Germany (DIN 110WCrV5)

1.2519 is the classic German oil-hardening Cr-W-V tool steel — close kin to AISI O7 and a sister to 1.2419, with a touch more vanadium for finer carbides. The tungsten and chromium combine to produce hard, finely dispersed carbides that allow a thin geometry to hold an edge longer than the simple carbons, while the vanadium keeps grain size tidy through the heat treat.

In a kitchen knife, it lands comfortably between 62 and 64 HRC and behaves like a slightly more wear-resistant W2 — that is, it sharpens with little fuss on most stones, takes a fine edge, and rewards a deliberate heat treatment more than it punishes a casual one. It will patina, sometimes attractively, sometimes alarmingly to a first-time carbon owner; either way, a wipe-and-dry habit is enough to keep it civil.

You will find 1.2519 in the work of European bladesmiths who want a step up in edge retention from white-paper carbons without losing the easy stone feel. Among the makers Modern Cooking carries, Benjamin Kamon, Martin Huber, Tobias Heldqvist, Jonas Johnsson, and MCx work in 1.2519. It is one of the more honest "European answers to Aogami" — not the same metallurgy, but a similar relationship between feel at the stone and edge longevity.

Blade construction

Laminated Steel

A category covering knives built from multiple layers of different steels forge-welded together. The hard cutting steel is sandwiched between softer outer layers (cladding) that protect the core, add toughness, and often contribute visual contrast.

The most common laminated constructions in the Modern Cooking catalogue are:

SanMai (三枚) — three layers: hard cutting steel in the centre, softer cladding on both sides. The traditional and most common form.

GoMai (五枚) — five layers: a hard core, two intermediate layers, and two outer layers. Adds visual depth and structural complexity.

KuMai (九枚) — nine layers: similar logic, with more cladding layers for additional pattern and structural variation.

GoMai and KuMai are often chosen not only for the additional layers and visual depth, but also because the intermediate layers can act as a nickel diffusion barrier — limiting carbon migration out of the core into the cladding during forge welding, and protecting the core's intended carbon content through the heat of the forging process.

In all cases the cutting performance is determined by the core steel; the outer layers are cosmetic and structural. The lamination contributes corrosion protection (when a stainless jacket clads a carbon core), reduced reactivity, and the visible boundary between core and cladding that gives the knife its character.

Grind

Convex

A grind whose bevel bulges outward in a gentle curve from spine to edge, rather than running flat. That extra steel directly behind the edge makes a convex grind notably strong and resistant to chipping, while the curved geometry helps food release and lets the blade glide through dense ingredients with less wedging than a flat grind.

The strength comes at the cost of ultimate thinness and ease of maintenance. A convex edge has more metal behind it, so it is not quite as effortlessly keen as a thinly flat-ground edge, and it is harder to sharpen freehand — holding the curve takes a stropping technique or a deliberate hand rather than a single fixed angle. The reward is an exceptionally tough, smooth-cutting edge.

Handle construction

Hidden Tang

A construction in which the tang runs into the handle but stays concealed inside it, rather than showing between two scales. A narrower tang — a full-length stick or a shorter projection — is set into a drilled or burned channel in a one-piece handle and secured with adhesive, a friction fit, or a threaded fitting drawn up against the blade. This is the traditional construction of Japanese wa-handles and many European hidden-tang knives.

The design puts the handle material in charge of the look and feel: a single piece of wood, horn, or composite — often with a ferrule or spacers at the front — is shaped into any cross-section the maker wants, from the classic octagonal and D-shaped wa profiles to fully rounded Western forms. With no steel showing along the grip, the handle can be slim and light, and is frequently made to be removed and replaced, with the balance sitting toward the blade.

Product Care

Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.

Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.

Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. Keep the knife dry between uses and when storing for longer periods, wiping the blade with Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil is a wise choice. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming.

Handle Care: For non-stabilised wooden handles, apply Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil from time to time. Food-safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and non-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
