The yanagiba is most often used for preparing sashimi, or sliced raw fish, and is excellent for slicing meats and other moist foods as well. The yanagiba is, quite simply, the ideal slicing knife. All Wasabi blades are made of Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for superior sharpness and edge retention. The blades are graze-finished for a beautiful, brushed-look. The knife is completed with a smooth, black polypropylene handle, giving it a very contemporary look and feel.
