OKINAWAknives

The single-edged blade along with the premium rosewood material of the handle makes this yanagiba knife similar to traditional Japanese swords. The perfect characteristics and geometry of the OKINAWA yanagiba will ensure a natural and original food taste.

A black nylon bolster on the handle provides additional balance and hygiene when in use. It is particularly crucial for this model of the knife with its extremely long 10.6-inch blade.

Even though the primary purpose of yanagiba knives is Japanese cuisine and they used to be called a chef’s sushi and sashimi knife, the application of this tool includes international dishes too. You can comfortably cut and slice beef and pork steaks, seafood and vegetables.

The blade of this Samura kitchen tool is made of top-rated AUS-8 Japan steel, the hardness of which allows the knife to deal with tender products and stay durable through years of use.

You can use this knife at home and in professional kitchens regardless of your cooking level. Samura is famous for producing tools that are highly appreciated and rated by the experts and welcomed by cooking enthusiasts.
