Tools of the Sushi Chef

The tools of a sushi chef can be quite expensive and also quite important. You can go cheap on some items but then there are things like the knifes that you just can't scrimp on.
A good sushi knife can cost on average about $600.00. A sushi chef usually has at least two knifes and maybe more. These are constantly sharpened so the knifes get smaller all the time.

Other tools are for fanning the rice, cooling the rice, mixing, and scooping rice. There are also rolling devices to make makizushi with. Since most of these are made with less expensive materials, you can go cheaper on these items.
