Who Is This For

The Craft-Knife Cook: You want a fine yanagiba from a Japanese blade maker, built for steady and careful work at the board. A poorly shaped blade makes precise work slow and tiring, and that is not your fault. Our yanagiba gives you a 270 mm blade of molybdenum steel and a plastic (PC resin) handle. The listing describes the knife in detail, and every figure here comes from it. Choose it when you work with the long, precise reach of a proper yanagiba, and you will have the facts you need before you order.
