The Takohiki
The legendary fish-slicing knife for preparing sashimi" Similar to the Yanagiba, this knife is used for preparing sashimi. This knife is characterized by the cutting edge virtually dead straight to the squared end. The Takohiki or long, thin-bladed knife is designed to slice in a single motion pulling in such way that the cutting edge of the knife must be parallel to the chopping board. These days, even first-class chefs feel difficulty in managing this knife.
