Sakai Takayuki | Chef's Japanese Knife | Sword-Shaped Yanagiba (Flying Swallow) | 270mm

Rust-Resistant Authentic Japanese Knife: Chef's Japanese Sword-Shaped Yanagiba (Flying Swallow) Knife, 270mm, Made with Ginsan Steel and an Octagonal Magnolia Handle

• Uses: This yanagiba knife is used to cut sashimi, but its tip is sharp like a Japanese sword, and has a shape called "sword-shaped" (also known as "hien"). With a blade length of 270mm, it can not only cut sashimi beautifully with one stroke, but also makes it easy to use the sharp tip to perform delicate carvings such as decorative cutting.
• Material: Made using the same manufacturing method as traditional Japanese knives, the steel used is Hitachi Metals' rust-resistant "Ginsanko." Despite being a stainless steel, it offers the same sharpness and ease of sharpening as carbon steel, without the tendency to "dull" cutting.
• Design: Its greatest appeal is its stylish form. As the name "Hien" (flying swallow) suggests, the elegant and sharp lines of the design resemble a flying swallow, adding a touch of elegance to the kitchen's hands while cooking, and leaving a strong impression on customers across the counter.

"I want a knife that stands out from the rest" "I can't compromise on sharpness, appearance, or ease of maintenance." This knife is the pinnacle of functional beauty, chosen by discerning chefs like you.
