4116 Yanagiba Japanese Chef Knife Blank (Right Hand) - KC03 (KC03)

4116 Yanagiba Japanese Chef Knife Blank (Right Hand) - KC03

The yanagiba is the sashimi specialist. Its long, narrow single-bevel edge draws through raw fish in one clean pull, leaving a mirror surface that a double-bevel knife simply cannot match.

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic choice. Molybdenum and vanadium give it wear resistance without brittleness, and the chromium content makes it genuinely low-maintenance in a working kitchen.

Steel sourced directly from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, and heat treated professionally by Voestalpine before it ships. Every blank arrives at working hardness, ready to finish.
