Sakimaru Takobiki Length: Choose the slicer length that best suits your workspace and typical slicing tasks:
- 10": Offers excellent control and precision, ideal for smaller kitchens or more detailed slicing work.
- 13": Provides a longer cutting edge for single-stroke slicing through larger cuts of fish or meat.
-
Add Protective Leather Sayas (Sheaths): Opt to include custom-fitted leather sayas for each knife. Investing in sayas offers significant benefits:
- Blade Protection: Guards the finely honed edge against nicks, chips, and dulling when stored or transported.
- Enhanced Safety: Prevents accidental cuts when reaching into drawers or knife rolls.
- Preserves Sharpness: Keeps the edge pristine by preventing contact with other utensils.
- Ideal for Drawer Storage: Allows safe storage in a drawer without risking damage to the blade or other items.
- Elegant Storage & Transport: Adds a touch of traditional style and makes transporting your knives safer and more convenient.

Care Instruction
- Hand Wash Only: Never put your knives in the dishwasher. Harsh detergents, high heat, and tumbling can damage the blade edge and the wooden handle.
- Wash Promptly: Clean your knife immediately after use, especially after cutting acidic foods (like citrus or tomatoes), which can cause staining or patina on high-carbon steel. Use warm water, a soft sponge, and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
- Dry Immediately & Thoroughly: High-carbon steel can rust if left wet. Use a clean, dry towel to thoroughly dry the blade and handle immediately after washing. Pay attention to the area where the blade meets the handle.
- Oil Occasionally:
- Blade: To prevent potential rust and maintain the steel, apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil or specialized knife oil to the blade periodically, especially if storing for extended periods or if you live in a humid climate. Wipe off any excess.
- Handle: The Rosewood handle benefits from occasional conditioning with food-grade mineral oil or board butter to prevent drying or cracking. Apply a small amount, let it soak in, and wipe off the excess.
