Yanagiba

The Yanagiba is used for preparing traditional sushi and sashimi. This knife perfectly slices, removes the skin, and thanks to its single-sided sharpening, it also cuts thin slices, not just fish. We use the entire length of the knife to slice meat in one smooth cut. These are mainly high-carbon knives, which should be wiped dry and taken care to prevent corrosion.
