Care Instruction

  3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
  4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;

  6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

  • Profile: Yanagiba

    The Yanagiba, often simply called Yanagi, stands as a quintessential knife in the Japanese culinary realm, specifically designed for the artful preparation of sashimi, sushi, and sliced raw fish and seafood. As a member of the Sashimi hōchō family, it is celebrated for its long, slender blade that ensures precision cuts with minimal effort. Blade lengths start at approximately 210mm and can extend up to 360mm, with the 240mm and 270mm sizes being the most favored for home use, while professional kitchens frequently opt for 300mm and larger. This knife's design is not just about aesthetics but about fulfilling the precise requirements of Japanese cuisine, making it a vital tool for both amateur and seasoned chefs.

  • Steel: MV (Molybdenum Vanadium)

    The MV steel is a generic term that used for steel with molybdenum and vanadium added to it, the carbide formed by these two elements have very high hardness but relative small in their particle sizes, which is good for increase the wear resistance of the steel without sacrifice too much toughness. MV steel is commonly stamped on lower end and entry level Japanese blades but it doesn't refer to a specific chemical composition, but rather indicate that M and V are added to the steel. MV steels are usually fully stainless with a hardness not greater than 60 HRD due to lower carbon content.
