"The Yamato Yanagiba respects tradition. The 300mm blade gives me clean, single-motion cuts on sashimi, with no tearing. The balance of rigidity and flexibility is exactly what I need for precise plating."

"The AUS-8 steel sharpens easily and holds an edge through service. At 56–58 HRC, it’s forgiving enough for daily work but still strong for professional use. A reliable yanagiba for modern kitchens."

"This knife excels in presentation. The long blade allows me to pull clean slices of fish without sawing, which preserves texture and elevates the visual appeal of every dish."

"The olive wood wa handle feels light, yet gives full control over the blade. It sits comfortably in hand during repetitive slicing, and the ergonomics reduce fatigue."

"The precision is outstanding. The Yanagiba’s length and geometry let me make seamless cuts that honor the fish. It’s a knife built for discipline and craft."

"The Yamato Yanagiba delivers finesse. Every slice is smooth, and the corrosion resistance of AUS-8 means I can trust it through long services. It’s a perfect balance of performance and practicality."

"The metallurgy is honest and effective. Edge retention is strong, and the toughness of the steel means it won’t chip under pressure. A knife designed with professionals in mind."

"The Yamato Yanagiba is built for discipline. The blade glides in a single stroke, preserving the integrity of the fish. It honors the traditions of sushi craftsmanship."

"The 300mm blade is the perfect length. It delivers seamless cuts on toro and hamachi, with no cell damage or frayed edges. Presentation stays pristine every time."

"This knife embodies balance. The hardness is tuned to hold its edge but still resharpen smoothly. For daily sashimi prep, it is dependable and precise."

"The blade geometry is flawless. Thin enough for finesse, strong enough to maintain stability. It gives me confidence even when working at high pace."

"A Yanagiba should never fight you — it should move with you. The Yamato does exactly that. Long, sharp, and balanced, it makes clean slicing effortless."
