Care and everyday use
It is at its best for slicing raw fish for sashimi. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

Great yanagiba. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.
