Sakai Kiku Takashi Yanagiba 300mm Carbon Steel, 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 Sakai Kiku Takashi, 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.

Beautiful blade finish and the edge is incredible. Exactly what I hoped for.

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

The steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
