The Yanagiba knife, also known as a sashimi knife, is often used for slicing sashimi.
It is characterized by its thin blade, long blade length, and narrow width, making it essential for cutting clean sashimi.
Focusing on sharpness, the blade is designed with a single bevel, providing an exceptional cutting and slicing experience.
The Yanagiba knife features a thin blade thickness and long blade length, allowing for a single draw cut that preserves the fiber cross-section of the sashimi without damaging it.
The handle, made of magnolia wood, is water-resistant and lightweight, fitting comfortably in the hand and providing a non-slip grip even when handled with wet hands.
The blade uses Shirogami No.2 steel, which offers a perfect balance of flexibility and hardness.
The single bevel edge is sharply honed for outstanding sharpness and ease of sharpening.

[What is Shirogami No.2?]
Shirogami No.2 steel is one of the purest materials for blades, combining ideal conditions for crafting high-quality knives.
It is difficult to harden and can only be handled by some blacksmiths, resulting in steel that produces knives with excellent sharpness and ease of sharpening.
The carbon content balance provides an exquisite balance of flexibility and hardness, which is the hidden secret supporting daily cooking.
The sharpness is keen, and re-sharpening is relatively easy, leading many chefs to choose knives made from this material.

[What is a single bevel knife?]
A single bevel knife is a traditional Japanese knife shape that has been used for centuries and is an essential tool for Japanese cuisine chefs.
With a blade sharpened on only one side, it achieves a sharp edge that allows for swift cuts and vibrant cut surfaces, maximizing the flavor of the ingredients.
It excels in making thin slices and has good blade separation.
Since sharpening is required on only one side, maintenance time is reduced.
