Initiates of single bevel knives will enjoy the more forgiving nature of the stainless construction of Silver #3 steel compared to a blade with a reactive iron cladding. Seasoned single bevel knife owners will also find it to be a worthy addition to their arsenal, particularly if they work in a busy kitchen with high volumes of fish to process where breaks to clean your knife are limited.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese fish slicing blade that is single-sided (beveled), often simply referred to as a “sushi knife.” These slicers may not be as versatile as its double-sided cousin, Sujihiki, but when it comes to pure slicing tasks of boneless protein (and not just fish), a well-sharpened Yanagiba is unmatched in performance. It is a great addition for any cooks working with sashimi and other delicate, raw seafoods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand: Hitohira \u003cbr\u003eSmith: Kikuchiyo \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Sakai-Osaka\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Yanagiba \u003cbr\u003eSize: 300mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Stainless Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Yasuki Silver #3 (Ginsan), Soft Stainless Clad \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Ho Wood \u0026amp; Buffalo Horn Ferrule Octagonal \u003cbr\u003eCome with Saya \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 454mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 290mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 308mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 36mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 3.8mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 146mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 211g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Right-Handed \u003cbr\u003eHardness: 61±1HRC \u003cbr\u003eSharpener: Mosuke\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitohira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50527204638913,"sku":"AAA-516-05-IA300","price":630.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/5660\/4609\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_04b7bda8-c37a-44c0-bcde-5891a94a95d6.jpg?v=1787662575","url":"https:\/\/toshoknifearts.shop\/products\/aaa-516-05-ia300","provider":"toshoknifearts.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
