Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Following in the tradition of master craftsmen who produced the famously sharp and incredibly beautiful Japanese swords, MIYABI knives from J.A. Henckels feature authentic Japanese blade designs, extraordinary sharpness, and perfect balance. They're endorsed by Rokusaburo Michiba, the legendary Iron Chef, who understands the importance of a sharp knife for preserving the taste and texture of delicate foods. This Yanagiba knife from the MIYABI 7000Pro series gets its name from the blades slender shape, which is said to resemble a willow leaf. The knife is mainly used to skin fish or prepare thin, uniformly cut strips of sashimi.

Featuring an asymmetric blade that combines visual grace with exceptional craftsmanship and performance, MIYABI 7000Pro blades are slightly heavier than their symmetrical counterparts to ensure they are tough enough for rougher preparation tasks. They're constructed of top-quality CMV60 stainless steel known for its incredible resiliency thanks to its blend of cobalt for corrosion resistance, molybdenum to enhance hardness, and vanadium to help bond the materials while allowing the blade to hold its sharpness. It also features a hollow ground on the flat side of the blade for a nonstick effect and an extremely acute angle at the cutting edge.

The traditional D-shaped handle offers excellent finger-tip control and is made from stainless steel and micarta--a multi-layered synthetic compound of linen and synthetic resins. Wash the knife under running water with a mild soap, and thoroughly dry before storing in a dry place. To avoid corrosion and damage, it should not be cleaned in a dishwasher. MIYABI 7000MC knives should be professionally sharpened or sharpened at home with a wet stone due to extreme hardness at 60 Rockwell. It's backed by a lifetime warranty. Made in Japan.
