Sashimi-bocho (Yanagi-ba-bocho)
Is a long and very thin knife used for slicing raw fish and seafood when preparing sashimi and sushi. In slicing raw fish it is important that the slice is smooth and sharp, and the yanagi-ba-bochi achieves this with an angle on the cutting face and flat back that enables a pulling cut to be made perfectly.
