A Fuguhiki knife is a traditional Japanese slicing knife specifically designed for preparing fugu (pufferfish) sashimi. It is similar to a yanagiba knife but features a thinner and narrower blade, allowing chefs to cut extremely delicate and translucent slices of fish.
The thin blade reduces resistance during slicing and helps produce very precise cuts required for fugu sashimi presentation. Fuguhiki knives are typically single-bevel knives used by professional chefs specializing in Japanese cuisine.
Although designed for fugu preparation, fuguhiki knives can also be used for slicing other delicate sashimi and raw fish.
White Steel (Shirogami) is a traditional Japanese high-carbon steel produced by Hitachi Metals. Known for its extremely pure composition, it allows knife makers to create blades with very fine grain structures and exceptional sharpness.
Because White Steel contains minimal alloying elements, it responds quickly to sharpening stones and can achieve extremely refined edges. This makes it highly valued by professional chefs and traditional Japanese knife makers.
White Steel is commonly used for traditional Japanese knives such as yanagiba, deba, and usuba, where precise and clean cuts are essential. However, like most carbon steels, it requires proper care to prevent rust.
