Where Beauty Meets Function – Handcrafted to Order

The sakimaru takohiki is a traditional Japanese knife used for slicing sashimi and sushi. Its distinctive rounded tip allows the blade to glide smoothly through delicate ingredients, preserving both texture and presentation.

This knife is forged from Gingami No.3 steel (Silver-3 stainless steel) using the hon-yaki (oil quenching) method. The result is a blade that combines exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to rust.

Created by master craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka of Sakai, a certified traditional artisan, this knife embodies refined Japanese aesthetics and precision. The handle, finished with silver fittings and a mekugi pin, evokes the dignified presence of a Japanese sword.

Designed for daily practicality as well as artistry, this knife is recommended for those seeking a tool that balances beauty with functionality.
Care instructions: Wipe dry after use and store in a dry place. Not dishwasher safe.
