Discover Kikuichi Tatsutogi 100mm (4") Kaisaki In Multiple Colors [gaN0l4X8]

A kaisaki has a short blade that somewhat resembles a miniature yanagi. It was originally designed for the preparation of shellfish but over time, chefs have adopted it for garnish preparation.

Tatsutogi is Kikuichi's most cost-effective traditional single bevel series. Hand-forged in the sword-making tradition from two pieces of carbon steel, the tatsutogi series also features many uncommon, specialty knife shapes. With a soft steel as the edge, these are easier to sharpen, making them good beginner Japanese knives.

CAUTION - Blade will patina and may rust if left wet. This is NOT a stainless steel. Always hand-wash and hand-dry knives. Use caution when cutting anything that may contain bones, pits, seeds, hard pieces, or was previously frozen.
