Crafted by Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro in Sakai City, Osaka, Japan, the knife combines Sakai's 600 years of forging tradition with the ancient art of Damascus folding to create the high-grade "Suminagashi" series.
The "Aogami No.1 steel" delivers exceptional cutting performance and durability. It boasts excellent sharpness, toughness, and wear resistance, ensuring a prolonged sharp edge.
Thanks to the skillful forging by Sakai artisans, even with a finely sharpened blade, the knife maintains its toughness. The cutting process requires minimal force, avoiding tearing or exerting pressure on ingredients that may damage food fibers. Knives made from Aogami No.1 steel enable achieving an exceptionally high standard in cooking.
The Sakimaru Takohiki knife" is a fusion of Yanagi and Takohiki styles, featuring a relatively straight blade. This makes it a versatile Yanagi, suitable not only for slicing sashimi but also for peeling daikon skin and finely julienning it.
The "rounded tip" (Sakimaru) design makes it easier to cut into ingredients, especially for removing fish skins. Its sharp edge reduces cutting resistance.
Additionally, it maintains the advantages of a typical Yanagiba blade, allowing for seamless, damage-free slicing of fish that preserves the original flavor and texture of the ingredients.
