The G-11 25cm Yanagi is a specialist Japanese knife for preparing sushi and sashimi. The long single-beveled blade allows the user to make clean, controlled cuts in a single stroke. The back face of the blade is concaved, creating non-stick properties and allowing sliced pieces to be removed easily after cutting, preventing tearing and bruising of the flesh. As this knife is made with a single beveled edge, it can only be sharpened using a whetstone. We recommend using a super fine grit stone to finish the sharpening process, creating a smooth and shiny surface that maximizes the taste of the fish.
