Japanese Yanagiba Sashimi Knife - "Seki no Yanagiba", Noshu Masamune Brand, Unused - Stainless Steel Blade with Traditional Design This is a brand-new, unused Yanagiba (sashimi knife) crafted by Satake, one of Japan's leading cutlery manufacturers. It belongs to the esteemed Noshu Masamune series, a brand that inherits the legendary sword-making traditions of the Seki region in Gifu, known as the "City of Blades" for over 800 years. The blade, a single-edged design, is made of high-quality stainless steel, offering exceptional sharpness and resistance to rust. It is ideal for slicing raw fish for sashimi, sushi, and other intricate cuts, allowing you to create clean, precise slices that preserve the food's delicate texture and flavor.
