Its long, thin, single-bevel blade is designed to slice raw fish in a single drawing stroke, producing clean cuts that preserve the texture and presentation of the fish. This unbranded example is fully forged with a full tang. Carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and rewards regular whetstone maintenance - essential for the razor sharpness that sashimi demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bevel knives require specialist sharpening - professional sharpening recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a saya or on a magnetic rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52212255228195,"sku":"CK-V1145326","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/66C03317-6C97-48D8-8A8D-8034628C2E8E.jpg?v=1737444782","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-yanagiba-knife-200mm-carbon-steel-1683","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
