Kai Yanagiba Wasabi

Inspired by Zen Buddhism, the Wasabi knife series demonstrates pure Japanese aesthetics. The Yanagiba (Japanese for willow blade) is a slim, long knife that is used for cutting and filleting fish. The narrow, long blade makes this knife particularly suitable for cutting wafer-thin slices. Ideal for preparing sushi and sashimi. The perfect knife for skilful, smooth and/or clean cuts. The polished 21 cm long blade made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel was developed in Japan. The design integrates an unmistakable Far Eastern flair with a practical hardness of 58±1 HRC for your daily cutting tasks. The handle was specially developed for the Wasabi series and offers a natural antibacterial effect thanks to its special combination of bamboo powder and polypropylene. The optimum hygiene properties are primarily due to the bamboo content of the handle. In contrast to the traditional Japanese wooden handle, the black, 12.6 cm long handle is not attached, but completely encloses the blade. This ensures that the blade is firmly attached to the handle and prevents dirt from becoming embedded in small niches. All these features make the wasabi knife suitable for use in commercial kitchens.
