Masamoto Tako-hiki KnifeThis is a sashimi knife with a water buffalo handle, measuring approximately 33 cm (11 sun) in length.
Due to maintenance and sharpening, the engraving is somewhat faded, but it was acquired together with several other Masamoto knives, so it is likely a genuine Masamoto product.
While Yanagiba knives are well-known for sashimi, this is a Kanto-style sashimi knife, known as a "Tako-hiki" (octopus slicer). Despite the name, it is not specifically for cutting octopus.
The differences from the Yanagiba knife include its thinner profile and flat tip.
In terms of slicing sashimi, the Tako-hiki knife is superior and can handle large volumes more efficiently. It is also preferred for cutting long sections and for tasks like filleting, making it a valuable knife that deserves more recognition.
The knife has been sharpened, so it cuts well and is ready to use. Please handle it with care when unpacking. The price includes the sharpening fee.
This knife features the engraving "Masamoto."

Monthly reload for Subscribe & Save Orders
Reload type: One Time Reload
Not a glamorous review, but a genuinely useful tip for Subscribe & Save users. I reload about $100 to my gift card balance once a month, a week or two before my S&S order processes. Amazon pulls each Subscribe & Save item as a separate transaction, which means 10+ individual charges hitting your bank account on before or on ship day. A headache for budgeting and a minor anxiety trigger if you're watching your account for unauthorized activity. Loading the balance first consolidates everything into one clean transaction. Your S&S order then pulls from the gift card balance rather than your card directly, and your bank statement stays tidy.
The side benefit is built-in budget discipline. I set about $100 as my monthly Amazon ceiling - if my cart runs over, something gets pushed to next month. It's a simple system that keeps spending intentional without any extra effort. If you're a regular S&S user who wants cleaner finances and less ""wait, who charged this and what was that charge?"" moments, this is worth making a habit.

Great for keeping bank statements clean but random security delays are frustrating
Reload type: One Time Reload
I use the balance reload tool to manage my monthly budget and easily hit credit card sign-up bonuses. It keeps my bank statements totally clean by grouping dozens of tiny e-book and movie rental charges into one single transaction. Most of the time the whole process works flawlessly and the money shows up in my account within five minutes. It is honestly the easiest way to put a hard limit on my family's everyday online shopping.
You just need to watch out for a few annoying system quirks when you load larger amounts of money. Even though it usually works instantly the automated security filter sometimes flags big reloads and freezes the transaction for hours. This random delay is incredibly frustrating if you are trying to add cash fast to catch a lightning deal before it expires. You also have to remember that this balance is strictly non-refundable and cannot be used to buy other gift cards.
Overall this is still a great method for organizing online spending and maximizing your cash-back credit card rewards. It totally fixed how I track household purchases but you definitely have to tolerate the occasional processing delays. My best advice is to load your account a day or two before you actually need to buy a big-ticket item. It works perfectly as a budgeting tool as long as you know the rules and plan for the random security hold.
