Specifications
Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan by Yoshikazu Tanaka for the Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro brand, this 270mm sakimaru takohiki is a single-bevel knife in Shirogami #1 carbon steel. Lighter and narrower than a yanagiba, roughly 20% lighter at the same length. Where a yanagiba uses its weight to carry the blade through the cut, the takohiki's lighter build gives a finer sense of control and more feedback with every slice.

Notes:
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you want to see the exact knife you'll receive, just email us at info@zahocho.com.
The stamps on the back side (堺 義一 白一鋼 / Sakai, Yoshikazu, Shirogami#1) vary in depth and clarity between pieces.
Minor variations in surface finish and measurements are normal in hand-forged Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
