What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Takohiki knives of this 240mm length are long: best on a large board with room to work.
  • Handle: not stated by the store.
  • Shirogami (White steel) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.

Limits to know

  • It is single-bevel: sharpened on one side only, made for one hand, and harder to sharpen well than a double-bevel knife.
  • Carbon steel develops a patina and can rust; it is not for a knife that sits wet in the sink.

Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.

Good to know for beginners

A takohiki is a square-tipped sashimi slicer, the Tokyo-style cousin of the yanagiba. Shirogami (White steel) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust.
