What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Yanagiba knives of this 240mm length are long: best on a large board with room to work.
- It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- Molybdenum stainless 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 traditional sashimi knife. It is single-bevel (sharpened on one side only), which lets it cut raw fish in one long pull with glassy-clean faces. Plan on whetstone sharpening (including the flat back, the ura), and note it is made for right-handers. 240mm is a manageable length for home sashimi. INOX (Molybdenum stainless) is stainless, so it shrugs off a wet board. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
