This vintage Yanagiba carries that spirit into the kitchen: a long, slender single-bevel blade purpose-built for drawing cuts through fish and sashimi with minimal resistance. Carbon steel construction means a razor-sharp edge that hones beautifully and develops a rich patina with use. The magnolia wood wa-handle sits light in the hand, keeping the balance forward where it belongs on a pulling blade. A rare collector's piece with a name that carries real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone on the flat (ura) side only - single-bevel geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55515205206307,"sku":"VTG-KAGEMITSU-YANAGIBA-210-2245","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/B638CA02-8156-49B5-AE9A-401ECD5AFB35.jpg?v=1789167787","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-kagemitsu-yanagiba-knife-210mm-carbon-steel-magnolia-wood-handle-2245","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
