This four-piece carbon steel collection brings together a Yanagiba (230mm), two Usuba vegetable knives (170mm and 140mm), and a Deba (150mm) - the core toolkit of a classically trained Japanese chef. Each blade is fully forged, ground to a fine edge, and built for the kind of repetitive, precise work that defines Japanese professional cookery. Carbon steel demands more care than stainless, but rewards the effort with a sharpness and responsiveness that serious cooks prize. Finding a complete four-piece set in this condition is uncommon - these knives were made to last a lifetime, and this one has.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a honing rod to maintain edge alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or send to a professional sharpener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a knife block or on a magnetic strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55353777324323,"sku":"sakaihidegaku no box","price":290.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/7B97F3F3-3B0D-4C33-9E51-0CAD4580D5D2.jpg?v=1784727975","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-hidegaku-starter-sashimi-set-3-pcs-2131","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
