The “Tako Sashimi” knife is a variation of the Yanagi and is used to slice straight-cut sashimi. The extra-long blade, blunt tip and balanced weight work well on ingredients such as octopus. The slip-resistant wooden handle provides a comfortable grip during use. Cutting bones with this knife isn't recommended as the edge may chip. It is best to wash by hand and thoroughly dry these knives after use. Originated in the Kanto (Tokyo) region.
