The Sakimaru Takobiki knife is a traditional Japanese knife used primarily for slicing sashimi and sushi. Its distinctive rounded tip allows for smooth and beautiful cuts, especially when handling soft ingredients like octopus and squid. Many chefs also use this knife as a sashimi knife, as it enables delicate, precise cuts essential for creating elegant presentations of sashimi and sushi. The long, thin blade ensures uniform cuts without damaging the structure of fish or other soft ingredients, making it a favorite tool among professional chefs who value aesthetic appeal in their culinary creations.
