Its elegantly thin blade and round sharp tip allow for long, uninterrupted strokes that preserve the ingredient's integrity and freshness. Compared to a Yanagi, the Takobiki is thinner, making it a unique tool for preparing delicate ingredients. It excels at creating perfect sushi rolls, and its rounded tip can be skillfully angled along the cutting board for clean, precise slices. Elevate your culinary experience with this handcrafted knife that embodies both beauty and functionality, turning even the simplest tasks into moments of artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62-63\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honyaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG-10 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Nickel Silver Ring White Corian (color varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":47901698392294,"sku":"VGHYYK300CHES","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/VGHYYK300CHES_PT01.jpg?v=1781818392"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/collections\/yoshihiro-ginsan-stain-resistant-steel-maguro-bocho-tuna-knife-sakimaru-takobiki-style.jpg?v=1758730986","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/collections\/knife-type-single-edged-takobiki-sashimi-knife.oembed","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
