Cangshan Cutlery Maya Series 10 in. Sashimi Knife 501844 - African Blackwood

The Cangshan Cutlery MAYA Series 10-Inch Sashimi Knife is a precision slicing knife designed for sashimi, sushi, and delicate protein preparation, combining Japanese-inspired blade geometry with the modern styling and premium materials of the MAYA Series. Built around a long, narrow slicing profile, the knife is engineered to produce smooth single-pass cuts that help preserve the texture and presentation of raw fish and fine proteins. The extended 10-inch blade length allows for long draw cuts with minimal resistance, making it especially effective for sashimi preparation, sushi work, carving, and fine slicing applications. The blade is forged from proprietary X-7 high-carbon Damascus steel, providing an excellent balance of edge retention, cutting performance, durability, and corrosion resistance. The layered Damascus construction creates the knife’s distinctive flowing pattern while reinforcing the premium presentation associated with Cangshan’s higher-end kitchen knife collections. Unlike traditional Japanese wa-handle knives, the MAYA Series incorporates a more modern ergonomic handle design with clean contemporary lines and a comfortable in-hand feel. The streamlined handle construction provides secure control during precision slicing tasks while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of the series. The slim blade geometry minimizes drag during slicing and allows the knife to glide cleanly through delicate ingredients, particularly fish and soft proteins where presentation is critical. Compared to broader chef’s knives, the sashimi profile prioritizes slicing precision and clean edge performance over general-purpose chopping versatility. The MAYA Series blends modern kitchen ergonomics with Japanese-inspired cutting performance, making the 10-inch Sashimi Knife an excellent option for users seeking a refined precision slicer with premium Damascus steel construction.
