The Edo Legacy: Authentic Tsukiji Aritsugu "Special" White Steel #2 Takohiki 300mm (11.8")
Master the traditional art of the Kanto region.
The Aritsugu Special Takohiki is the historic sashimi knife of Edo (Tokyo), legendary for its unique squared tip and perfectly straight, razor-sharp edge.
Hand-forged from premium White Steel #2 (Shiroko) using ancient Samurai Katana techniques, this 300mm (11.8") masterpiece is designed for chefs who demand absolute precision.
The long, straight blade allows you to slice through delicate fish and soft textures—such as Kanten (agar)—in a single, fluid motion without bruising a single cell. Your cooking will undergo a dramatic change from the very first slice.
It doesn't just cut; it respects the ingredients, preserving their natural flavor and texture with a precision that only a handcrafted blade can achieve.
We believe a true masterpiece deserves expert care.
That is why we include a complimentary "Sabitoru Rust Eraser" and "personalized Name Engraving" with your order.
We are not just selling you a knife; we are inviting you to become a guardian of Japanese craftsmanship.
Elevate your kitchen.
Own the masterpiece you deserve.
