Byakko – 270mm Sakimaru Takobiki by Kenji Togashi, single-bevel slicer
This sakimaru is a yanagiba-style slicer with a swept, pointed tip for sashimi. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Byakko, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for slicing sashimi. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Great sakimaru. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the blade looks even better in person.
by Ravi K.
The steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
