We say "pull" -- we don't say "cut" when we prepare Sashimi. So, you pull this knife at once, pushing from bottom to top of the knife. Because of this motion, it is made with a thin and long blade. These are " - biki" and "Yanagiba." We use it to slice fish, meat, and processed food.
We use this mainly to clean a fish. This is a single edged knife, made with just the right thickness for use when we slice the fish into three pieces. We can also use this to cut up hard ingredients.
We use this to cut vegetables. We can chop, slice, chip, carve, and so on. There are both single and double edged versions. These days the double edged knife is popular.
We use this to cut meat. The knife blade is thin, so it is good for slicing ingredients like ham and tomatoes and so on.
This is wider than the chef's knife, and also thicker. It is suitable for families because you can use it to cut up any food, such as meat, vegetables and fish. To cut up hard ingredients like fish bones, please use the De-ba knife.
This is suitable for carving or cutting up fruit and small vegetables because of the blade's thinness.
・The undulating blade is useful to "pull" easily. This can't be used to cut up frozen food.
・The blade is like a saw and is used to cut frozen and thawing food.
※The bread slicer can't be used as a frozen food knife.
