Graceful, sexy, and capable of amazing sharpness, you’ll find a Yanigiba in the hands of every sushi chef worth their salt. Yanagi means “willow leaf” and refers to this knife’s long, narrow shape. The Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese blade that is only sharpened on one side. This is called “single bevel.” Traditionally used for slicing sashimi, they are equally at home with a roast beef, ham, or calf’s liver. Once you go Yanagiba, you’ll never go back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKnife Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/yanigiba\"\u003eYanagiba\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUddeholm Swedish Carbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRockwell Hardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e61:63\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWa (Japanese) Handle, D-Shaped magnolia wood handle with water buffalo horn collar\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlacksmith\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/Shigefusa\"\u003eShigefusa\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAbout Shigefusa - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShigefusa is probably one of the best known and most respected knife makers coming from Sanjo in Niigata, Japan. Izuka-san, the man behind the Shigefusa name, makes some of the World’s most sought after knives. We’ve heard both Masashi Yamamoto and Bob Kramer say that Izuka-san is the best. Izuka-san has a very impressive resume for a blacksmith. He started his training under Kosuke Iwasaki, the father of the man making some of our favourite kamisori straight razors, where he learned basic techniques and a more scientific approach to looking at steel. After learning what he could, he apprenticed under the legendary Nagashima-san who taught him how to take what he learned and apply it to making kitchen knives. Izuka-san is like Luke Skywalker. He started his training with Obi Wan then finished up with Yoda, obviously he’s a force to be reckoned with. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/Shigefusa\"\u003eRead more\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Shigefusa","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":21827595894832,"sku":"SGKT240YA","price":730.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/shigefusa-yanagiba-1.jpg?v=1759451165","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-gb\/products\/shigefusa-kitaeji-yanagiba-240mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
