A Takobiki is a traditional Japanese octopus slicing blade that is single-sided/beveled and is recognized for it's very flat profile. These slicers may not be as versatile as its double-sided cousin, Sujihiki, but when it comes to pure slicing tasks of boneless protein (not just fish), a well-sharpened Takobiki is unmatched in performance. It is a great addition for any cooks looking to prepare traditional Japanese style dishes.
