Japanese Kitchen Knife | Sakimaru (Slicing Knife)

Like it's Yanagiba cousin, the Sakimaru knife is traditional style of Japanese chef knife, generally used for the preparation of sashimi. Sakimaru knives (like Yanagiba) are a long, thick single bevel knife, the difference being the tip design of a Sakimaru being pointed.  Although mainly used by the elite to prepare fish, some western chefs do use these knives for other slicing duties like roast meat carving. 

    Godammit, ProTooling are the best.
