MITSUMOTO SAKARIJapanese Sashimi Yanagiba Knife, 10 inch Tungsten Alloy Single-Sided Professional Sushi Knives, Kitchen Fish Slicing Fillet Knife(Fraxinus Mandshurica Handle)

Superb knife, great balance, sharp out of the box, easy to control, wafer thin slices now in easy reach.

After my previous knife fell apart, we had to find a replacement. This is a lot heavier, so it took some adjusting, but now I really enjoy working with this knife.

This is a lovely knife that comes beautifully presented in a box, making it a perfect choice for gifting. The knife is well made, has a nice weight, and is comfortable to use. It’s very sharp, and it cuts brilliantly without any real effort. The handle feels lovely to hold, but in my opinion, the bolster feels a little bit plasticky compared to the quality of the rest of the knife. Overall, a good quality, very sharp knife. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you found it helpful.

thss Sashimi Yanagiba Knife offers precision and excellence for sushi making. With its 10-inch tungsten alloy blade and Fraxinus Mandshurica handle, it ensures sharpness, control, and comfort. Ideal for chefs and sushi enthusiasts alike.

Avoid this seller! I bought the 'professional' Sushi knife as a gift and it arrived so blunt it couldn't even cut through paper let alone a piece of salmon. Apparently it had a second machine-ground beveled edge that rendered it useless, so their claim of 'a hand forged single edge' is untrue. What I learnt the hard way is that sushi knives have no business being made out of tungsten alloy as it makes them brittle and expensive to sharpen. Oh, and their support email (as featured on their website) '[email protected]' just bounces straight back, so no way of contacting them directly. Thankfully Amazon was able to sort the mess out quickly and easily. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

It is undeniable that the knife is really sharp! But for me as a chef, the blade is unreasonably thick, which is not ideal for cutting thin slices. And the thickness of the blade was not mentioned in the ads.More importantly, there is nowhere you can find "Made in Japan", not in the ads, not in the knife, and not even in the box and certificate that comes with it. It is highly suspicious that it is in fact massively produced in China. The way they do business is dishonest and Amazon should do something to prevent it!

The media could not be loaded. Beautiful knife, strange they don’t show you both sides of the knife in the advertisement, only one side is detailed the other side is just blank stainless steel! My blade seems to have a defect on it so I am questioning the integrity of the blade. On first impressions I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price.
