Sakai Kanechika Hagane Yanagiba 240mm
A single-edged Japanese knife for cutting sashimi. Because it is single-edged, the edges of the meat stand out, making the sashimi less likely to fall apart compared to a double-edged knife. Choose the size depending on the fish, and popular sizes are 7 to 9 sun (210mm to 270mm). Main lengths are 6 sun to shaku 2 (approximately 180mm to 360mm).
Manufactured in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, this series uses SK steel as the core material. SK steel is the most commonly used steel material when making steel knives, and it has the stickiness of steel, making it less likely to chip than white steel or blue steel. After being forged by hand in Sakai City, each knife is carefully sharpened one by one by Mr. Keiichi Fujii, a knife craftsman who has been in business for three generations.
