KIPST10: Tatsutogi Series Kaisaki Shellfish Chefy's Knife

Kikuichi Cutlery

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 economical single bevel carbon steel traditional series. Hand-forged in the sword-making tradition from two pieces of steel. With soft steel as the edge, these are easier to sharpen, making them good beginner Japanese chef knives.

Kikuichi has a long and distinguished history. Although they have been producing superior cutlery for more than 100 years, the origin of our company lies some 700 years ago. For most of their history, they manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a mark of their excellence. Today, Kikuichi ancestors' swords are considered national treasures in Japan.

Knife Center has an excellent selection of kitchen knives, kitchen accessories, cutlery, and kitchen gadgets.
