Experience the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship with the Yoshihiro Inox Stainless Steel Yanagi Sashimi Knife, a premier tool for sushi and sashimi chefs. Forged from S-Inox AUS-8 Steel, this handcrafted knife boasts a remarkable HRC of 61, offering exceptional sharpness, optimal edge retention, and excellent stain resistance—perfect for both entry-level and intermediate chefs.

The single-edged blade effortlessly slices through fish skin and flesh, preserving the delicate texture and flavor without damage.
