Kai Seki Magoroku Sushi Sashimi Knife - 210mm
Create beautiful, professional-quality sushi and sashimi at home with the Kai Seki Magoroku Sashimi Knife. This traditional Japanese blade, also known as a 'yanagiba' (willow leaf blade), is the essential tool for any sushi aficionado. Its long, graceful blade is designed to slice through delicate raw fish in a single, uninterrupted stroke, preserving the pristine texture and flavour of the ingredients.
What is a Sashimi Knife (Yanagiba)?
The sashimi knife is a long, thin slicing knife used in Japanese cuisine. Its length allows the chef to use a long, pulling motion to cut through a block of fish in one continuous slice from heel to tip. This technique, combined with the blade's acute single-bevel edge, prevents bruising and results in a smooth, glossy cut surface that is the hallmark of high-quality sashimi.

- 1 x Kai Seki Magoroku Sashimi Knife (210mm)
Key Features
- High-Performance Steel: The blade is forged from high-carbon Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, ensuring an exceptionally sharp edge, superior edge retention, and excellent corrosion resistance.
- Traditional Single-Bevel Edge: The blade is sharpened on one side only ('kataba') to create a razor-thin edge for the most precise, clean cuts on delicate fish.
