Takohiki is a traditional Japanese knife designed primarily for slicing raw fish and preparing sashimi and nigiri. Its straight, very narrow, and long blade allows for a single, long cut from one end of the fillet to the other, without the need for sawing. With a thickness of just 2 mm and a height of only 22 mm, cutting resistance is minimal, resulting in clean edges and preserved product structure. Low weight further enhances control and precision.

After each use, rinse the blade with lukewarm water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not leave the knife wet or dirty – high-carbon steel reacts quickly with moisture and acids.
Store in a dry place, preferably on a magnetic strip or in a saya / sheath.
It is recommended to periodically wipe the blade with a thin layer of food-grade oil (e.g., camellia or neutral vegetable oil).
Do not wash in a dishwasher or store in a damp drawer.
