It's been 11 years since we saw this line last. One of the first carbon steel knives we imported into Australia in large numbers, they still represent one of the best entry points into traditional Japanese knives.
These knives have high quality steel and heat treatment but fit and finish is lower (as the price reflects). Expect some scratches and signs of manufacturer's hand.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Yanagiba (Slicing Knife)
The Yanagiba is traditional style of Japanese chef knife, generally used for the professional preparation of sashimi. Yanagiba are thicker and heavier than their sujihiki slicing cousins, with a long profile and single bevel grind. Although mainly used by the elite to prepare fish, some western chefs do use these knives for other slicing duties like roast meat carving.
