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.
