Description
The Samura OKINAWA Yanagiba Knife SO-0110 is a specialized precision instrument engineered for the demanding environment of a professional sushi bar or high-end seafood establishment. This single-edged blade is crafted from high-carbon AUS-8 Japanese stainless steel, providing the exactness required for paper-thin slicing of raw fish, sashimi, and delicate proteins. The traditional Yanagiba geometry allows the chef to execute long, continuous drawing cuts that preserve the cellular structure of the ingredients, ensuring the highest possible quality for the guest.
A Natural rosewood handle that provides a secure, non-slip grip even during extended shifts. The handle is coupled with a specialized bolster that creates a hygienic barrier between the grip and the blade. With a hardness rating of 58-59 HRC, the edge maintains its razor-sharp profile through intensive daily use, reducing the frequency of sharpening required during service.
The 9.4" blade length offers the necessary reach for processing large fillets such as tuna or salmon in a single stroke. Because it is a single-bevel tool, it requires a trained hand to master the specific slicing motion, making it a preferred choice for professional sushi chefs who demand authentic Japanese tools for their workstation.
- Restaurant Size Recommendation: For medium to high-volume seafood restaurants or boutique sushi bars.
- Maintenance Advice: Hand wash and dry immediately; maintain the edge with high-grit whetstones only.
