Nakagawa White Steel Honyaki Sakimaru Takobiki 300mm Mirror Polish, 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 Nakagawa with a mirror-polished finish finish, 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.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

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.
