The migaki finish gives the blade a clean, polished appearance, while the octagonal wooden wa handle provides a traditional grip. This nominal 300mm knife has a measured blade length of 293mm and weighs 194g. Choose it when you want the reach of a full-length sashimi slicer and have enough board space to use it comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a sakimaru yanagiba used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a specialist slicer for sashimi and sushi toppings.
