Pro Classic Yanagiba Cleaver, 6.5"

$179.99
Quantity:


The yanagiba is, quite simply, the ideal slicing knife. "Yanagiba" means, "willow blade." True to its name, the Shun Classic Pro Yanagiba has a long, thin, "willowy" blade with the traditional Japanese single-bevel edge and hollow-ground back. It is designed to be pulled through the food, reducing loss of the natural juices and creating the cleanest cuts imaginable. The yanagiba is most often used for preparing sashimi, or sliced raw fish, and is excellent for slicing meats and other moist foods as well. Shun offers three sizes of yanagiba slicing knives. This is the shortest one—ideal for slicing smaller roasts and medium-sized fish.

About the Shun Classic Pro Series
For the true Japanese cuisine aficionado, the Shun Classic Pro line features traditional Japanese blade shapes and the scalpel-like precision of a single-bevel blade. For a secure and comfortable grip, Shun Classic Pro's incredibly sharp chisel edge is paired with our D-shaped PakkaWood® handles. The beautiful graffiti-etched blade is made of pure VG10 steel, a high-carbon steel with added vanadium, enabling it to take and hold an edge longer than other premium steels. The blade design is acid etched into the steel so that it becomes an integral part of the blade. The etching on each style is slightly different and cleverly incorporates the Shun logo into the design so that it becomes part of the overall pattern. (This type of blade etching is traditionally found on custom Japanese knives and is used to identify the knife's maker.) The backs of the blades are gently hollow ground, creating an air pocket between the knife and the food being cut, so the knife glides through with quick precision. The wide shinogi (or blade bevel) makes sharpening these knives on a whetstone practically effortless.
