Sakai Takayuki Tokujo Shirogami Sushi Kiri 210mm f-05 The Japanese-style octagonal wood ‘wa-handle’About Sakai Takayuki Tokujo We dreamed of a single bevel knife line that would have all the shapes in stock, all the time. Like a 195mm Deba or a Sushi Kiri! And guess what? We couldn't get them all, all the time typical! But what we can get is fantastic, these are excellent blades forged by Togashi san with shirogami #2. They have a great edge and are a joy to sharpen.
