Fukamizu Hamono Yasai bocho 150mm Shirogami #2

Fukamizu Hamono catalogs this as their yanagiba-gata yasai-bocho, the sashimi-knife-profile vegetable knife. Could it be a sashimi knife? Is it a vegetable knife? Both? Guys.

Let's call it a kitchen knife, and quite a nice one. A useful length for family meals, light, sharp. Call it what you will, Fukamizu san's signature low-profile blade does everything a taller santoku or bannou knife can do, with less weight and at a modest price point.
