Description

Yanagiba Knife

The Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese filleting knife. Thanks to its thin, single-edged, and long blade, it is ideal for thin cuts. The knife guarantees an elaborate and particularly well-groomed, smooth cut. Such cuts are especially important in sushi preparation. The length and shape of the blade provide the ability for a large movement during cutting.

Blade Material

The polished blades of the Wasabi Black series are made from the new technology, rust-resistant 6A/1K6 steel and are particularly rust-resistant due to their high chromium content. It is a classic type of stainless steel. The high carbon content provides better edge retention.

The blade length is 21 cm.

Handle

The black plastic handle is water-resistant and therefore very sturdy. Its shape offers a pleasant, natural feel thanks to the addition of bamboo powder.

The length of the handle is 12.5 cm.

Cutting board

It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.

For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

You can determine if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and the cut will be jagged.

It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.

    This review is about the dimension: 23 cm

    The size is quite large... the immediately smaller one would have been more practical... my mistake, the 21 would be more convenient.

    For meat, the handle doesn't even work (which is completely funny and not sturdy at all) and it also dulls for fun and it's logical that it's a soft knife on the month it needed to be sharpened. It doesn't work in terms of safety or performance for a butcher shop. It can work for a chef who doesn't use it as much and doesn't cut as much quantity. (I tried it because it's sharp but this knife is not suitable for meat, it's for fish.)

    I don't know much about knives, my daughter asked for it to use in the kitchen when she cooks, but the 3-4 times I used it, it was a great experience. It cut very well without force or effort. Be careful not to cut yourself!

    Without having much experience with knives, I have been very satisfied when it is sharpened. It often needs sharpening to cut through "air"

    This review is about the type: Deba

    It is sturdy. I think I am cutting slightly to the left. For the money it is sold, it is okay.

    Very good for its price, but not something that would interest me as a knife collector, it's just a tool, I would say mass-produced, and I gave it to my wife, I just sharpen it for her.
    The edge is very good from the factory, I don't like that the knife is thin.
    If you want a chef's knife for your kitchen, stay away from the very cheap ones you would buy at the supermarket and at least get this one, it will save your hands, it won't empty your wallet, if you take care of it a little, it will last a lifetime.

    The knife is excellent at this price and worthy of the KAI name.
    Well sharpened out of the box, but with a metal hardness that I would consider low in a professional kitchen, resulting in the need for more frequent sharpening. However, it is much easier to sharpen (even with a leather strop, it holds a regular sharpening)

    This review is about type: Chef, dimension: 20 cm

    The knife is good. Very lightweight, which personally I liked, but it is very thin, something you should keep in mind. It definitely isn't as heavy as the Wustoff. If you want to buy this knife, you should consider that you will also be working with other knives alongside it (for breaking small bones...). *The HRC is not 58, it is 56+-1, the same as all the knives in the WASABI series by KAI

    Very good knife for filleting. With one pull, it cuts everything with its weight alone
