Sakimaru Takohiki

先丸蛸引き

Round-tip sashimi knife Sashimi Slicing 3D Model

A sakimaru takohiki is a single-bevel sashimi knife: a takohiki, the straight Kanto-style slicer, finished with a long, rounded sweep at the tip (先 saki = tip, 丸 maru = round) instead of the takohiki's square end. The tip recalls a Japanese sword, and some makers call the same shape a sakimaru yanagiba. Ground on one side with a concave ura on the other, it draws one clean slice through raw fish. Most run 270mm to 330mm.

It does the same job as a yanagiba, slicing sashimi and toppings in a single pull, and the straight takohiki edge and spine give long, even contact along the cut. Compared with the takohiki, its closest sibling, the only difference is the tip: rounded instead of square, which many cooks find more elegant and a little handier for finishing a cut and plating. Compared with the yanagiba, it has a straighter profile and a rounded rather than sharp point.

Not to be confused with the takohiki: the two share the same straight, flat blade, and the only difference is the tip, which ends square on the takohiki and sweeps into a long rounded point on the sakimaru.
