Kai Wasabi Black Yanagiba knife 21cm

The Kai Wasabi Black Yanagiba Japanese knife is designed for the traditional preparation of sushi and sashimi. Its long, narrow blade is ideal for slicing raw fish into thin pieces with a single, smooth stroke. The knife features a blade made of 6A/1K6 corrosion-resistant steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, which keeps its edge for a long time. The ergonomically shaped handle, made from a combination of polypropylene and bamboo powder, provides a comfortable and secure grip while working. In addition, the seamless connection between the handle and blade makes it easy to clean and maintains a high standard of hygiene.

Single-bevel blade for a precise cut

The blade of the Yanagiba knife is made of 6A/1K6 corrosion-resistant steel and has a hardness of 58 ±1 HRC. Its key feature is the single-bevel grind, which is typical of traditional Japanese fish knives. This type of edge creates thin, clean cuts without damaging the structure of the meat. The long 21cm blade is designed to let you slice a fish fillet in one smooth stroke, which is a fundamental technique in preparing sushi and sashimi. This preserves both the flavour and appearance of the ingredients.

Ergonomic and hygienic handle

The handle of the Kai Wasabi Black knife is made from a combination of durable polypropylene and bamboo powder. This material is naturally water-resistant and easy to maintain. The ergonomic shape of the handle, with a length of 12.5cm, fits comfortably in your hand and provides confidence when slicing. The blade is firmly embedded in the handle without any gaps, which prevents dirt and bacteria from building up. This seamless connection contributes to the high standard of hygiene necessary when working with fresh food.

The knife is not suitable for the dishwasher. After use, wash it by hand under running water and dry it thoroughly immediately.
