Specifications

Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan by Satoshi Nakagawa, this sakimaru takohiki features an Aogami #1 carbon steel core with a suminagashi damascus finish. The blade includes a fuller (chinagashi) along the spine that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. Measuring 323mm in edge length with a 35mm blade height and weighing 296g, this knife offers a lighter feel during extended slicing work without compromising stability.

A sakimaru takohiki is a traditional Japanese slicing knife with a rounded tip, originally designed for preparing octopus and other seafood. The single-bevel edge and long blade allow for smooth, controlled slicing of fish and boneless proteins. The rounded tip provides safety and control when working close to delicate ingredients.
