This beautiful hand-made yanagiba in 270mm size is made for left-handed users. It's perfect for most sushi and protein slicing in almost every environment. The blade is long enough for a one-movement pull cut, essential for preparing sushi where a sawing action would destroy the delicate flesh and result in an unattractive slice. They're made for Takayuki by Sakai master blacksmiths and come with a beautiful natural stone finish. The blade is fashioned from Hitachi White #2 steel. The blade is single beveled, so the back side is almost flat with just a slightly concave profile. This aids in food release and the ability to guide the blade through the soft flesh in a precise and single-stroke action. This lovely blade comes with a traditional Japanese D Shaped wa handle with black buffalo horn ferrule.
