Miki M505 Yanagiba (Sashimi knife), 240 mm
SKU: Miki M505Miki M505 Yanagiba, 240 mm,
This Japanese sahsimi knife has a blade made of Japanese VG-1 carbon steel (stainless). This single-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by Miki Hamono's forge and is unique in its kind. A Yanagiba knife is the typical Japanese filleting knife, because of its shape this knife is extremely suitable for filleting and cutting meat and fish and extremely suitable for preparing Sashimi. Because this knife has a Mune-machi (notch in the blade when entering the handle), the length is traditionally measured from the machi, so the blade is somewhat shorter than the "regular" yanagibas of the same length that are measured from the Ago (back point).
