At 12 inches, this long, slender blade allows for a single, flawless "pull-cut" that preserves the cell structure of the fish, delivering sashimi with a unparalleled flavor.

The breathtaking beauty of the Honyaki blade will captivate your customers at the sushi counter.
It is not just a tool; it is a "Sword of the Chef" (Hocho-Katana) that defines your career.

This is why world-class chefs have cherished Aritsugu for centuries.
