Description
Description
The authentic slicing knife
This yanagiba knife comes with a 24cm single-edged blade. It's ideal for precise, clean cuts, especially for preparing sashimi. Its design lets you finely slice fish and other delicate foods. It delivers premium performance, especially well suited to chefs and Japanese cooking enthusiasts.
A blade with a formidable alloy
The blade is made of 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, an alloy containing around 17% chromium and 0.7% carbon. The chromium gives it excellent corrosion resistance, while the carbon increases the steel's hardness. This balance lets the blade reach a hardness of 58/59 HRC, a level that guarantees a long-lasting, effective edge. The addition of vanadium and molybdenum further improves the blade's hardness and wear resistance. A saya is supplied with the blade. This protective sheath is made of wood, and measures 30.3 x 4.8cm.
A handle that's both useful and pleasant
The handle is made of olive wood, a species renowned for its durability and pleasant feel. Olive wood stands out for its magnificent grain, which also takes on a different, unique shape on every knife. Its high density gives great resistance to impact and high water-resistance. It is therefore resistant to moisture and bacteria. The D-shaped handle is designed for right-handed cooks: it ensures a comfortable grip even during long cutting sessions.
Exemplary finishing touches
A stainless steel bolster harmoniously links the handle to the blade. It's adorned with three black edgings that create an elegant contrast with the steel and the wood. A stainless steel butt completes the whole and contributes to the knife's optimal balance. This Wusaki knife comes in a storage box, which also lets you give it as a gift in the best possible conditions to a kitchen-loving friend or family member.

Care & sharpening
Care & sharpening
Use
- Cut with a straight, linear motion. Twisting motions damage the cutting edge and can break the blade.
- Use a wooden cutting board. Glass or marble dull the cutting edge over time.
Cleaning
- Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap, then rinse with lukewarm water. Abrasive surfaces are not suitable for the steel.
- Oil the blade from time to time with a neutral mineral oil to protect it.
Sharpening
- Don't wait until the blade is completely dull: regular maintenance on a 1000-grit whetstone keeps an excellent cutting edge without removing too much material.
- Match the whetstone's grit to the condition of the blade — coarse grit to restore a very dull edge, fine grit to polish.
