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.
