Global Classic Yanagi Sashimi Knife

The Yanagi is a specialized Japanese slicing knife featuring a long, thin, single-sided blade. This design is specifically engineered to slice through raw fish in a single, clean pull, preventing the tearing or bruising of delicate proteins.

No, this knife features a single-sided bevel, which is designed specifically for right-handed users. The geometry of the blade edge is optimized for the right hand to achieve precise, straight cuts.

To maintain the sharpness of your Global knife, we recommend regular honing with a ceramic rod or a fine-grit whetstone. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the unique convex edge of the blade.

The hollow handle is filled with a precise amount of sand to create a perfectly balanced weight distribution. This ensures the knife feels light in your hand while providing the stability needed for professional-grade slicing.

No, this knife should be hand-washed only. High-heat dishwashers and harsh detergents can dull the edge prematurely and potentially damage the stainless steel construction.

This hardness range provides an ideal balance between edge retention and durability. It is hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for intricate sashimi work, yet resilient enough to resist chipping during normal use.
