Ajikiri

The ajikiri knife is for grating small fish such as aji (horse mackerel). Ajikiri blades are thin and small, allowing for more nimble work. Slightly taller than the petty knife, they excel at finer multipurpose work as well, and have become more popular in Japanese homes in recent times. Try one yourself from Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide and experience amazing cutting ability in a small package.
