Description

1. MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP - Handcrafted in Sakai, Japan, where more than 90% of Japanese professional chef knives are produced. It produces one at a time manually by highly skilled master artisans. It outperforms industrially mass-produced products from every aspect. The master craftsmanship shines through in every single product. The unparalleled performances make you feel like standing at the pinnacle of cooking! The sheath is sold separately.

2. RAZOR SHARPNESS - Ready to use out of the box with ruthless sharpness. The special Japanese steel, Yasuki Shiroko (White Steel) #2 with high carbon content (1.1~1.2%) is forged with soft iron to make Awase construction (HRC 62-63). It gives exceptional sharpness, edge retention, durability, and ease of sharpening at the same time. Just pull the knife towards your sashimi with the least pressure to get shining clean cuts with maximum integrity! It is single-edged for right-handers.

3. SUSHI SASHIMI SPECIALIST - The Yanagiba knife is designed to slice delicate fish for sushi and sashimi. The blade is made according to Japanese tradition, with Shinogi on the front side and Urasuki on the back. It effortlessly sails through fibers of fish flesh without a trace of crushing and tearing to produce a shining paper-thin slice with one stroke. The ergonomically designed D-shape Magnolia wood handle and perfectly balanced construction make you comfortable at each use.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CAUTIONS - The knife is recommended only for chefs with proper knowledge of usage and maintenance. The blade is not stainless. The stain doesn't affect the performance or the food you cut. To minimize the stain, wash with mild detergent and dry well after use. Apply some oil before storage. Hand washes only. Avoid cutting through large bones of chicken and meat. If properly sharpened on quality whetstones, the unbelievable sharpness lasts for years to come.

5. AESTHETICS AND 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - The premium Kasumi appearance (hazy finish) resulting from special forging and polishing is stunning. The beauty of the blade and traditionally handcrafted D-shape Magnolia wood handle with a Water Buffalo horn bolster makes your cooking more enjoyable.
