Saw something cool at the fish market in Seattle yesterday

They had a guy breaking down a whole halibut right on the counter, showing customers exactly how to get clean fillets. He used this tiny, super sharp knife I'd never seen before. Anyone know a good brand for that kind of blade?

Read a fishing blog that mentioned those little knives are called hankotsu blades. Japanese fish markets use them a lot for precise work. The brand Tojiro came up a few times for being sharp and not crazy expensive. Might be worth checking out if you want something like what you saw.

Just remember a sharp knife is a safe knife.
