The Imojiya line is known for their budget-friendly western series and premium Damascus patterned wa-handled blades. Fitted to the blade is a gray Pakka wood handle that is built to last and gives this knife a solid, secure in-hand grip. The DSR-1K6 steel used in its construction has very high rust and corrosion resistant properties, however, you may find yourself needing to sharpen it more often than other stainless steels.

A slicer ('Sujiihki' in Japanese) is a valuable tool for skinning, trimming and/or portioning protein items (fillet of salmon or turkey breast). Depending on the length, professionals use it as a utility blade or use it during service on the line. For home cooks, a slicer is a great blade for those special times of the year where you want to get even slices without striations on your turkey breasts and other roasts.
