An extra long specialised fish knife with a bevel on one side and a flat edge on the other.

You can use this primarily for sushi and smoked salmon cutting.

The beauty of this blade is the bevel, which once placed into your food, will not allow you to deviate from the path that you have set it on i.e. if you use a standard chef’s knife when cutting a side of salmon, you need to have a steady hand a precision accuracy. With a sashimi knife, it ensure that you take perfect slices – every time!

Plus – it has a slight concave element to the flat side, making sure that your fish slices do not concertina on the blade.

We stock the right handed version as standard but we are the only manufacturers in the UK who stock and supply a left-handed version!

A truly versatile knife – this can double as a carving knife for those who prefer to have a chunkier handle for their carving.

I.O. Shen knives offer a unique blend of Japanese and Western sensibilities, setting them apart from the traditional Japanese knife. Sure, their Triplex Steel Technology is a marvel, but the design elevates them to another level.

A Western Touch:

Most Japanese knives are known for their lightweight build and handles crafted from metal, bamboo, or wood. I.O. Shen takes a different approach, incorporating a distinctly Western influence. Their handles boast a satisfying weight, akin to a classic German knife, perfectly complementing the razor-sharp, 15° angled Japanese steel blade.

Beauty Meets Balance:

The artistry doesn’t stop at functionality. I.O. Shen handles feature the captivating Tai Tang pattern, adding a touch of elegance to your culinary arsenal. No wonder renowned Chef Felice Tocchini describes using these knives as “…like working with a piece of art.”

A Modern Classic:

Launched in 2004, I.O. Shen Mastergrade knives have become a favourite among professional chefs and home cooks alike. Their combination of innovative technology, superior craftsmanship, and stunning design makes them a true standout in the world of cutlery.
