The Yanagi Sashimi Knife features a blade made of Inox Stainless Steel, known for its high quality and durability. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this knife offers a professional level of sharpness, durability, and comfort that is unmatched in its price range.

Handcrafted in Japan using traditional techniques, the Yanagi has a flat grind on the front side (Shinogi), a concave grind on the back (Urasuki), and a flat rim (Uraoshi). This unique combination allows for precise slicing with minimal damage to the food's surface and cells, preserving its texture and taste.

Made in Japan with a focus on quality over quantity, this knife comes with a traditional Wa-style handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for easy use. It also includes a wooden Saya cover for protection and aesthetic appeal when not in use.

To maintain the sharpness of the blade, sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones or frozen foods to prevent damage.

The Yanagi Sashimi Knife is an essential tool for chefs who require precision and elegance in their slicing techniques. With its fine blade and traditional craftsmanship, this knife is a work of art that embodies the rich tradition of Japanese knife making.
