Description
Elevate your homemade sushi with this simple yet highly effective 3D-printed cutting guide! Inspired by a clever trick used in Japanese restaurants (where chefs sometimes attach chopsticks to their knives), this model helps you achieve paper-thin, perfectly even cucumber sheets with ease. No years of professional knife skills required!
These two guides attach magnetically to your kitchen knife, creating a consistent, fixed angle. This allows the blade to glide smoothly through the cucumber, slicing off continuous, ultra-thin layers (a technique known as Katsuramuki) that are ideal for sushi rolls, garnishes, and fresh salads.
Key Features:
Hardware Required: To assemble this model, you will need 4 round Neodymium magnets (size: 4x2mm). These fit into the dedicated slots on the printed parts. Depending on your printer's tolerances, they should press-fit, but a tiny drop of super glue can be used to secure them permanently.
Recommended Print Settings:
Disclaimer: Please ensure your printed parts and magnets are thoroughly washed with warm soapy water before coming into contact with food. Use caution when attaching and removing the guides near a sharp knife edge.
