Hamokiri is specifically used for filleting Hamo \”Japanese Daggertooth pike conger\”. This knife is also called Hone-kiri and literally translates to Bone Cutting.
The knife is wide and long enough to cut the small bones by the weight of the knife under a technique called \”Honekiri\” that leaves the skin connected. The knife crushes the fish\’s long hard bones by making 1mm cuts in the flesh without cutting the skin underneath.
