Masahiro 10613 Stainless Steel Japanese Knife, Willow Blade (Single Blade), 9.4 inches (24 cm)

Be aware Japanese steal is somewhat brittle and can chip if not handled with care

My son has worked as a sushi chef and every time he comes visit, my friends are begging to have a sushi party. He has his own set of expensive knives that he won't bring with him on the plane, so I essentially bought this knife at his recommendation to have on hand for when he visits and wants to make sushi for me. He is kind of a knife snob and was impressed with the quality of this knife for the price. I really should learn how to use it myself!

Knife is so light it feels like a toy knife, where the handle and the metal meets, it’s not flushed, I can feel the metal on the handle, very uncomfortable, looks like a mass produced knife where each work has just but one job and the one who put the handle together just didn’t care, no quality check.

Perfect for cutting fish for sashimi, and katsuramuki peeling!

Shipped on time and fast! Very nice knife, sturdy and razor sharp.

Tip is bent, however, the blade is sharp and cuts nicely.

Very good yanagiba with reasonable price.

Ok knife
