About the Sakimaru Takohiki: The Sakimaru Takohiki is a variation of the Yanagiba and Takohiki, and is used for much the same purpose of slicing sushi and sashimi.

About the VG10 Honyaki Genbu Series: The Honyaki process is one of the most difficult methods to construct a knife with only a handful of knife makers in Japan who can successfully pull it off. Since only 1 type of steel is used in forging, it requires extreme precision and dedication to get the right temperature & tempering. The handle and Saya are made from traditional Wenge wood, one of the densest woods available.
