Unagisaki are knives specially used to cut eel

Unagisaki are knives specially used to cut eel. The blade has a straight 45 degree angle to create a sharp tip for piercing and slicing the entire length of the eel in one continuous motion. The short and angled handle makes it easier to grip and allow users to hold it against the palm of their hands.
