The long, narrow, graceful blade of the Danbiki is designed for right hand use and particularly useful for slicing fishes and preparing sashimi. It is also good for trimming away sinew and fat from meat, finely slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip.
