What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Yanagiba knives of this 300mm length are long: best on a large board with room to work.
- It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
- VG-1 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
Limits to know
- It is single-bevel: sharpened on one side only, made for one hand, and harder to sharpen well than a double-bevel knife.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A yanagiba is the long, single-bevel sashimi knife, sharpened on one side for clean slices of raw fish. VG-1 is stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel, which makes it an easy choice for everyday cooking. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
