Double the Performance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe yanagiba's long, slender, single-bevel blade is designed for one thing above all else - the long, single pull-stroke that produces paper-thin slices of fish with perfectly clean cuts and no cell damage. The Shun Dual Core takes this iconic blade further - alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 high-carbon stainless steel folded into 71 micro-layers of Damascus cladding that extend all the way to the cutting edge. Both steels reach the edge simultaneously, combining VG10's exceptional hardness with VG2's flexibility and corrosion resistance. The result is a yanagiba that holds its razor edge through extended sashimi prep sessions. The rabbet tang controls weight and enhances manoeuvrability, while the octagon-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that won't harbour bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bevel edge - do not hone with a standard honing steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on the flat (ura) side only with a whetstone, or use a professional sharpening service experienced with single-bevel knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46463799263523,"sku":"VG0020","price":630.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/DD9C9B15-4439-43CA-968A-EC5B916580ED.jpg?v=1695091208","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/shun-dual-core-yanagiba-knife-267mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
