Yanagiba (柳刃) – The Traditional Japanese Sashimi Knife
Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese single-bevel knife specifically designed for slicing raw fish and preparing sashimi and sushi. The name “Yanagiba” means “willow blade,” referring to its long, slender shape.
Typically ranging from 240mm to 300mm in length, Yanagiba knives are engineered to make clean, single-pull cuts. This slicing technique minimizes cell damage, preserving the texture, flavor, and visual presentation of delicate fish.
Unlike Western-style knives, Yanagiba features a single-bevel edge, allowing for exceptional sharpness and precise control. It is primarily used by professional sushi chefs and requires proper technique to master.
For those dedicated to authentic Japanese cuisine and precision slicing, Yanagiba represents the pinnacle of traditional knife craftsmanship.
Hongasumi Gyokuhaku Steel is a traditional high-purity carbon steel used in classic Japanese knives such as Masamoto Sohonten’s Honkasumi series. The term “Gyokuhaku” refers to refined white carbon steel known for its clean composition and fine grain structure.
Similar to traditional White Steel (Shirogami), Gyokuhaku steel is prized for its ability to achieve extremely sharp edges and its excellent sharpening response. This makes it particularly suitable for traditional Japanese knives used for sushi and sashimi preparation.
Knives made from Hongasumi Gyokuhaku Steel provide exceptional cutting performance and precise edge control. However, like most carbon steels, they require proper care and maintenance to prevent rust and discoloration.
