Features a beautiful octagonal Wa ebony handle. The Takohiki is a version of Yanagiba slicer that is favorite in Kanto region in Tokyo and is used for the same tasks. In addition, the straight tip is well suited to cut octopus (Tako) tentacles and serving slices using the knife. The urban myth is that the square tip replaced the traditional one so when pointed to the noble customers of Tokyo area, does not represent a threat or disrespect. Important Note: This is a Carbon Steel knife and not a stainless one. Requires attention and care in its maintenance like quick washing and drying after use, storing in low humidity area and application of mineral oil if not used for some time. Over time it will form a patina that will protect it from rust. In case rust appears, use baking soda on wet blade, leave it for 10 mins and rub carefully with your finger or a soft sponge. In case rust is not removed, contact us for further instructions.
