Premium Sakimaru Takohiki Japanese Knife - Blue Steel #2 Kurouchi Finish with Buffalo Wenge Handle (270mm) - Ideal for Sushi, Sashimi & Precision Fish Filleting

The Sakimaru Takohiki is a variation of the Yanagiba and Takohiki, and is used for much the same purposes. Sakimaru Takohiki are easily identifiable by their blade tips, which look similar to that of a Katana. Their blades have a straight spine similar to the Takohiki, and a slightly curved edge like the Yanagiba, resulting in a knife which looks somewhat like a combination of the two.
