Sticky knife

[KoDoK]

So i have sukenari k tip sujihiki. When i cut nigiri, omg so sticky. Any sugestion?

Some said use oil on blade and leave it overnight to make blade non sticky?

Thanks

Is the fish sticking to your knife when you’re cutting it for nigiri? Or are you making nigiri and then afterwards cutting it smaller for some reason?

When cutting fish into nigiri. It stick to the blade

My old Sukenari zdp Damascus was the most magnetic sticky knife I’ve ever owned. Everything you cut had to peeled off.

Mirror polish finish or narrower profile would help.

If the height of the blade higher than the width of the fish after slicing, it will stick. For K-tip you have to finish every cut at the very end of tip, more difficult to use than yanagiba or more pointy sujihiki

rub a daikon or ginger slice on the blade for a bit or longer. It helps to reduce sticking for me

Slightly damp towel also works.
