Kaisaki literally means to undo the shell, so it is ideally designed for this. 
Its small size is practical for raising small fish (like a mini-deba) or making precise cuts or decorations, hence its second name, baran-giri in the sushi chef's jargon.
 
The blade of this knife is made of forged carbon steel (shirogami 2 or white steel 2 type), it is a very pure steel, with a low chrome content. Its very high hardness (61-64HRC) gives it a lasting edge and the fact that it is forged (and not simply cut into its shape) allows for more refined sharpening.
 
The handle is made of magnolia wood, soft and light, it is the traditional wood for the handles of kitchen knives. It is naturally antiseptic and water resistant.
The bolster at the top of the handle is in buffalo horn. Black in most cases, it can be ocher, marbled or all white more rarely.

 
This knife was forged, sharpened and assembled in the tradition of clean Japanese cutlery in Sakaï (Osaka prefecture),  the cradle of Japanese knives.
