Kakubei Yanagiba Knife, Sharpened, Sashimi Knife, Excellent Grade, Outstanding Sharpness, 205mm

Kakubei Yanagiba Knife

The yanagiba is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife designed to create beautiful slices with a smooth pull cut.

This knife is single-beveled and made of hagane (high-carbon steel). It was likely stored with little use. There is some darkening, but overall it is in good condition.

It has been sharpened and is ready to use upon arrival. Please handle with care when unpacking. The price includes the sharpening service.

It features the engraving “角兵衛” (Kakubei). The handle also has a branded mark, and the sticker “スバラシイキレ味” (Wonderful Sharpness) remains.

For sushi and sashimi prep, a yanagiba helps you slice in long, single strokes that keep the fish surface clean—exactly what sushi chefs aim for in sushi restaurants.
