Sakimaru Takobiki (Sashimi Knife)

A premium sashimi knife with a curved sword-style tip for elegant, ultra-precise slicing.

The takobiki is the Tokyo (Kanto) style of sashimi knife. It is traditionally thinner and lighter than the Osaka-style yanagi, with a straight, squared-off tip. The sakimaru takobiki keeps that thin, straight profile but adds a rounded tip inspired by the Japanese sword, giving a graceful look and a smooth finish to each cut.

Both styles are made for a single, long pulling stroke that leaves sashimi with a clean, glossy surface. Choose from Kasumi and Hongasumi White Steel, Aonamiuchi Blue Steel #1 and Suminagashi Damascus.
