Ideal for slicing delicate pieces of raw fish, the 9-1/2-inch yanagiba knife features traditional Japanese blade styling. The single-bevel design allows an incredible sharp edge that's easy to maintain. The blade is one-sided high-carbon stainless-steel and the handle is sturdy polypropylene blended with real bamboo powder. The hollow-ground back creates an air pocket between the blade and the food being cut, resulting in less sticking to the blade and less friction damage to the food. Embellished with Japanese characters for "wasabi," which means harmony and tranquility, the knife carries a limited lifetime warranty.
