The yanagiba - literally "willow blade" - is Japan's dedicated sashimi knife. 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.

Care and Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Apply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust
  • Single-bevel knives require specialist sharpening - professional sharpening recommended
  • Store in a saya or on a magnetic rack
