Sourced from a closed supplier in Seki city, this new old stock has been waiting 30 years for use.
The Takobiki is a traditional sashimi knife from Tokyo, designed to not point a sharp edge at your client on the other side of the table. Also useful for working with eel, it's a smaller slicing knife which we're really enjoying.

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
