This handcrafted knife, made in Japan, is not mass-produced, making it an excellent choice for both entry and intermediate-level chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifically designed for sashimi and sushi preparation, the Yanagi knife features a single-edged blade crafted from S-Inox AUS-8 steel. It effortlessly slices through the skin and flesh of fish without compromising the taste and quality of the ingredients. Unlike other knives that may damage cell walls and alter texture, the traditional Yanagi leaves fish smooth, shiny, and fresh. This knife is a hongasumi variety, representing a higher quality of kasumi knife, which is forged by layering softer steel over a hard steel core. The hard AUS-8 core provides superior sharpness and edge retention, while the softer surrounding steel enhances durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Japan using traditional techniques, the Yoshihiro S-Inox Yanagi features a completely flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground back (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi). The hardness of the S-Inox stainless steel allows skilled artisans to create a thin, sharp cutting edge, ideal for precision slicing. Its lightweight and well-balanced design is complemented by a handmade rosewood round-shaped handle, ensuring comfort during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the knife is a lacquered magnolia wood saya cover, which is easy to clean and resistant to stains and odors. The Yanagi is a long slicing knife, perfect for producing ultra-thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The elegance of its thin blade lies in its ability to cut through ingredients in long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving their integrity and freshness. As one of the most essential traditional Japanese knives, the Yanagi is a powerful tool in the culinary repertoire of many chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUS-8 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e D-Shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuri Lacquered Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"9.5\" (240mm)","offer_id":37099013308603,"sku":"INYA240SH","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":37099013275835,"sku":"INYA270SH","price":289.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099013243067,"sku":"INYA300SH","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/6f9a3a6e-inyash270nr_main.jpg?v=1753477085","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-s-inox-stainless-steel-yanagi-sushi-sashimi-japanese-chef-knife-round-rosewood-handle-with-nuri-saya-cover","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
