Where
Tradition and Artistry Merge: The SUSHIMEN'S LINE of Premium
Sushi Knives
Tradition and artistry. These are words as revered by the
skilled craftspeople of Mundial as they are by Master Sushi
Chefs of Japan. Today, the rich traditions and meticulous
artistry of both groups have come together to create the world's
finest premium sushi knives, the SUSHIMEN'S LINE from Mundial.

While the SUSHIMEN'S LINE meets the stringent requirements of
professional sushi chefs, it also answers the needs of the
growing number of gourmet cooks and sushi lovers who want to
prepare their own sushi creations at home using
professional-grade tools.
Just as Master Sushi Chefs pride themselves on preparing sushi
and sashimi as aesthetically appealing as they are appetizing,
SUSHIMEN'S knives reflect the perfect marriage of form and
function.
Each knife is handcrafted to the requirements of
professional sushi chefs
Mundial developed the SUSHIMEN'S LINE in conjunction with the
people who know better than anyone what makes a great sushi
knife - top sushi chefs. Their expert consultation has enabled
Mundial to create a complete set of premium knives guaranteed to
provide a lifetime of use to both professional and home sushi
chefs.
Each knife is shaped, weighted and balanced for its
task
The art of sushi-making requires precision tools - each one
designed for a specific purpose. That's why the SUSHIMEN'S LINE
from Mundial includes all five types of sushi knives:
- Yanagi Bocho.
Available in 8 3/4" and 10" lengths, the Yanagi knife lets
chefs slice fish for sushi and sashimi in a single, fluid
motion.
- Deba Bocho.
With its heavy blade, the Deba Bocho knife minimizes the
effort of cleaning fish. It is available in both 6" and 7"
lengths.
- Yasai Bocho.
The stout, cleaver-like blade of the Yasai Bocho knife makes
it ideal for chopping vegetables quickly and cleanly.
- Tachi Bocho.
The long, slender Tachi Bocho knife enables the easy
preparation of ingredients such as octopus for sashimi.
- Kazari Bocho.
A pleasing presentation is essential to sushi-making and the
angled tip of the Kazari Bocho knife lets chefs create
decorative cuttings using vegetables and greens.
Each SUSHIMEN'S knife is properly
balanced to concentrate the weight in its blade, thereby
enabling it to deliver greater cutting force with a minimum of
effort.
Each single-edged blade is tempered and honed for
maximum sharpness
Much of the visual appeal of professionally-prepared sushi comes
from the clean, precise cuts of all ingredients. That’s why,
unlike other cutlery, sushi knives feature a single cutting edge
on each blade. By selecting the best alloys to ensure strength
and resilience, then tempering and honing each blade by hand for
maximum sharpness, Mundial makes it easy for home sushi chefs to
cut cleanly and accurately with a single stroke.
Each handle is ergonomically designed
Mundial's attention to detail in the design of the SUSHIMEN'S
LINE extends to the shapes, sizes and lengths of the knife
handles. Crafted from Amapá, a dense-grained hardwood, the
handles of the SUSHIMEN'S knives follow traditional designs.
Each one is tapered to fit the shape of the hand, ensuring a
comfortable grip and the proper cutting angle for its task. Some
of the knives feature an oval shape to ensure a secure grip, and
all SUSHIMEN'S knives are designed for both right- and
left-handed users.
Mundial's tradition of quality and craftsmanship
In addition to its many unique attributes, the SUSHIMEN'S LINE
delivers the high quality and value-added features that
consumers expect from a premium collection of professional sushi
knives. SUSHI KNIVES, SUSHI KNIFE SETS, KNIVES
Stainless Steel.
SUSHIMEN'S knives are made of stainless steel that has been
specially developed to meet the highest standards of performance
and processed under stringent quality assurance measures.
Blade Finishing.
Mundial SUSHIMEN'S knives feature a honed and polished finish
that ensures precise and smooth cutting while offering greater
durability, reduced abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Assembly and Finishing.
To meet international hygiene standards, Mundial uses an
assembly process that ensures that SUSHIMEN'S knives have no
gaps between the blade and the handle.
Final Quality Inspection.
Mundial knives are fully tested throughout the manufacturing
process, then periodically reinspected after manufacture and
assembly to ensure that they meet engineering specifications.
Care, Cleaning and Maintenance
According to Japanese cutlery tradition, SUSHIMEN'S knives have
wooden handles and dishwasher use is not recommended. Like all
fine cutlery, SUSHIMEN'S knives should be washed by hand with a
mild soap, dried immediately after use, and stored in a clean,
dry place. To prevent rusting and guarantee long life,
SUSHIMEN'S knives should not be left in contact with foods and
acid liquids for long periods of time, and users should avoid
cutting on hard surfaces such as metal or ceramics.
Sharpening SUSHIMEN'S Knives
With proper care and regular sharpening, SUSHIMEN'S LINE of
premium-quality sushi knives from Mundial will provide
professional and home sushi chefs with a lifetime of use while
maintaining their sharpness, quality and beauty. Sharpening
SUSHIMEN'S knives is best performed in a three-step process:
1. Honing
 Lubricate
a natural Arkansas whetstone (Mundial Item #ZH-3) with Mundial
Honing Oil and position it on a waist-high work surface.
Gripping the SUSHIMEN'S knife by its handle, hold its blade
against the stone so that its beveled edge lies flat on the
surface of the stone. Applying firm and steady pressure, push
the blade against and across the stone in a smooth stroke,
beginning with the foot of the blade (nearest the handle) and
ending at the tip of the knife. Repeat several times until a
burr forms on the sharpened edge of the knife.
 Turn
the knife over onto its flat side. Keeping the blade flat
against the stone and applying steady pressure, move it across
the stone from one end to the other in a spiral motion. Repeat
the complete honing procedure several times, reducing the
pressure on the blade each time.
2. Fine Honing
Switch to a Hard Arkansas (Mundial Item #ZH-4) whetstone and
repeat the procedures used in the first step.
3. Burnishing Switch to a Natural
Extra-Fine Honing Stone and repeat the procedures used in the
first two steps. Following these directions will result in a
razor-sharp knife with a brilliant mirror finish.
