Our handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are handcrafted with extraordinary skill,forged of the highest quality steel according to the traditional methods used in ancient Japanese sword making by our master artisans of incomparable skill,some of which have over 50 years of experience.Honyaki means true forged and represents the highest level in Japanese knives,an extraordinary blade hand-forged from a single piece of high carbon steel.

Handcrafted in Japan with traditional techniques,our Takobiki has a completely flat grind on the front side (Shinogi),a concave grind (Urasuki),and a flat rim (Uraoshi) on the back.The combination of the Urasuki and Shinogi allow for the blade to cut food with minimal damage to the surface and cells,therefore not spoiling the texture and taste.The Uraoshi is the thin,flat rim that surrounds the Urasuki and enhances the strength of the blade at its otherwise vulnerable edges.

Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced.This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use.A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included,which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use.

Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge,which requires attention and care.Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones.Hand wash and dry only,and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients.Do not use on objects such as bones,nutshells,and frozen foods.Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained.Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation.

The Takobiki is a long slicing knife that was designed to slice paper-thin slices of fish for sashimi and its blunt sharp tip is useful for cutting the long tentacles of the octopus. The Takobiki is narrower and thinner than a Yanagi which means it is lighter but is also more delicate to use. The Takobiki has a flatter blade profile compared to the Yanagi and can slice through an ingredient in long uninterrupted strokes, preserving its integrity and freshness.
