Premium Yanagi Kiritsuke Knife - 270mm Silver Steel #3 Honyaki Mirror Finish with Buffalo & Wenge Handle - Japanese Sushi & Sashimi Chef Knife for Professional Kitchen & Home Cooking

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife that was designed to slice thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The beauty of its elegant thin blade is its ability to slice through an ingredient in long uninterrupted strokes, preserving its integrity and freshness. The Yanagi Kiritsuke is slightly heavier with a blade that is wider and a spine that is thicker. The sword tip helps balance the weight of the knife and is recommended for chefs who are interested in a Yanagi but have a smaller working space. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
