At 200mm with a 2.4mm spine tapering to a fine edge, this vintage example is a nimble, precise sashimi knife suited to smaller fish and detailed work. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a razor edge and rewards regular honing. Unbranded but built with the honest craftsmanship of Japanese workshop production - a genuine vintage piece that won't be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle bevel - sharpen on the flat (ura) side only with a whetstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional sharpening recommended if unfamiliar with single-bevel geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40011272323150,"sku":"CK-V7421","price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_a5b1d405-d152-4c71-9260-7655fa0851e0.jpg?v=1781967922","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-yanagiba-knife-200mm-carbon-steel-made-in-japan-876","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
