Like all slicing knives, this long, thin blade excels at making even strokes for a precise cut. Intended for fish, and used by sushi chefs worldwide, the yanagiba blade is bevelled on one side while concave on the other. This creates a super sharp edge that cuts finer than a standard knife. The blade is crafted in Seki, Japan from the super-steel VG-10. This metal combines iron, carbon, molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt among other ingredients so that it can be hardened more than other metals. This allows an exceptional edge without being brittle. Finished and etched for a damascus look, this is one of the most beautiful knives you can have in your kitchen.
