The Hikarishi Yanagiba blends traditional Japanese style with a modern, budget-friendly twist. Featuring a thick spine and a sturdy single-bevel edge, this knife is perfect for precise fish slicing. Its robust build and forward-facing balance provide excellent control, making it ideal for slicing —an essential technique in Asian cuisine, especially when preparing sushi.
Yanagiba knives are renowned for their ability to effortlessly slice boneless fish fillets for sashimi and sushi. They are also excellent for filleting fish, producing smooth, shiny, and even cut surfaces that enhance the presentation and flavor of sashimi and nigiri sushi. The narrow blade and acute edge angle of the Hikarishi Yanagiba make achieving professional results easier than ever.
Available in two colors, polished and sharpened by hand to deliver exceptional value, it is hardened to 60 HRC with lower chrome content compared to 440C steel. This ensures outstanding edge retention while maintaining its razor-sharp edge for long-lasting performance.
With its Japanese-inspired look, modern practicality, and unbeatable value, this Yanagiba offers the best bang for your buck, making it an essential tool for aspiring and professional chefs alike.
