Premium Sakimaru Takohiki Japanese Kitchen Knife - Blue Steel #1 Kasumi Finish with Buffalo Walnut Handle (270mm) - Perfect for Sushi, Sashimi & Precision Cutting

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.
