H2: What Is a Yanagiba Knife?

H3: A Japanese Specialty Knife for Sushi Chefs

The Yanagiba, or “willow blade,” is a traditional Japanese slicing knife known for its long, slender, and single-bevel edge. This style of blade excels at:

• Slicing raw fish for sashimi
  
• Portioning sushi rolls
  
• Filleting soft proteins cleanly
  

Unlike double-beveled Western chef’s knives, the Yanagiba's single-bevel grind makes cleaner, thinner cuts without crushing or tearing delicate fish.

H2: Key Features of the Tramontina 9" Sushi Yanagiba Knife

H3: 24cm Stainless Steel Blade – Sharp and Corrosion Resistant

Crafted from AISI 420 stainless steel, the 24cm blade is designed to retain sharpness, resist corrosion, and glide through raw ingredients with minimal drag. Its length provides the control of a shorter blade while still allowing for long draw cuts typical in sushi preparation.

Ideal for:

• Slicing sashimi-grade fish
  
• Filleting or skinning seafood
  
• Portioning sushi rolls or soft meats
  

H3: Single-Bevel Edge for Cleaner Cuts

The single-sided grind allows for highly precise slicing, especially for right-handed users. It helps maintain the fish’s structure and appearance, which is essential in traditional Japanese plating.

H3: Ergonomic Handle for Secure Grip

The non-slip composite handle is comfortable to hold, even when your hands are wet. It’s designed to offer balance and stability, keeping your movements smooth and confident through longer prep sessions.

H2: Maintenance & Care

H3: Cleaning

While dishwasher safe, hand washing is preferred. Wash immediately after use with warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly.

H3: Sharpening

Sharpen using a ceramic honing rod or fine-grit whetstone, specifically designed for single-bevel knives. Sharpening should be done at the correct angle to maintain the Yanagiba’s edge geometry.

H3: Storage

Protect your blade by storing it in a knife sheath, magnetic knife strip, or dedicated sushi knife case to prevent damage or dulling.
