Nakagawa White Steel Honyaki Yanagiba 270mm Mirror Polish, single-bevel sashimi knife
This yanagiba is a single-bevel sashimi knife for slicing raw fish in one clean pull. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nakagawa with a mirror-polished finish finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for slicing raw fish for sashimi. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Best yanagiba I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
