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.
VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel developed in Japan and widely used in premium kitchen knives. It contains added cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium to enhance hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. VG10 offers a refined grain structure and a balanced combination of sharpness, durability, and maintenance ease.
