Product Description
The Yanagiba knife is a traditional style knife in Japan used primarily for flawless slicing of sashimi or raw fish. The long, pointed blade features the Shun Pro single-bevel and concave back side, so it's ideal for precision, sharp slicing, even through moist foods, and will maintain its edge with the use of a whetstone.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun Pro knives rely on extremely sharp 2.5mm blades, made of a single piece of Japanese VG10 steel for strength, called the Honyaki style in Japan. It offers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Sharper out of the box than other knives, Shun Pro knives feature a traditional Japanese blade, with a one-sided beveled edge and hollow-ground or concave back. Japanese chefs in particular prefer the single bevel because it can be honed backed to its original sharpness, even after hours of slicing, using a whetstone. In addition, the hollow ground divots on the back produce air pockets that remove friction when slicing, so food releases easily without any loss of flavor. The ebony Pakkawood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a ???D??? shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. Shun Pro cutlery is suitable for right-handed users o
Amazon.com Review
Designed to effortlessly slice delicate morsels of fresh fish, this elegant Yanagiba or sashimi knife is an essential tool for any home sushi chef. A long narrow blade measuring 8-1/4 inches in length carries a razor-sharp edge to cut into soft raw fish without crushing or damaging and finishes with a pointed tip for intricate tasks. Also available in two additional lengths: 9-1/2 and 10-5/8 inches. Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Combining high-carbon stain-resistant "super steel" with a one-sided, single-bevel design results in an exceptionally strong, sharp blade. Holding its sharpness longer, a Shun knife offers simplified maintenance on top of its superior performance. Flipping the knife over shows a subtly concave backside created to resist sticking and avoid damaging food. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
