The Yanagi knife has a long and very thin blade specially designed to prepare sashimi, sushi, sliced raw fish and seafood. The blade is purposely angled from one side and flat on the other. This allows sharper and more precision cutting and slicing from one side of the blade.
A sashimi knife is the Japanese equivalent to a western utility knife and is ideal for creating garnishes, cutting sushi rolls and filleting fish - as well as everyday slicing and dicing.Â
In the traditional Japanese style, it is sharpened on one side to produce optimal results.
All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.
- The blade is constructed of a single piece of steel, with a unique convex edge for unsurpassed performance
- Made of hollow handles which are then filled with sand to achieve the desired weight and deliver the perfect balance
- Perfectly balanced knives provide optimal control
- The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called Cromova 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for Global
- Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56 - C58 degrees which holds the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel
- Ergonomic, stainless steel hygienic handles with signature dimple pattern offer a comfortable, slip-resistant grip
