About the knife type: Sakimaru
A sakimaru is a traditional Japanese knife with a straight spine and a tip that resembles a katana. It is a variant of the yanagiba and takohiki, used mainly to slice raw fish for sushi and sashimi. The long, narrow shape lets you slice through fish in one smooth movement, giving precise, clean cuts.
About the steel: White #1 (Shirogami #1)
