Unagisaki

The Unagisaki, also known as the Eel Knife, is a specialized Japanese knife that is primarily used for filleting eel. The name “Unagisaki” is derived from two Japanese words: “unagi”, which means “eel”, and “saki”, which means "tear".

This knife is characterized by its long, thin, and curved blade. The sharp and curved blade allows for precise cuts through the slippery flesh of the eel. This design makes it an essential tool for any sushi chef who wants to prepare eel in a clean and precise way.
