9-Inch Sashimi Knife, Single Bevel Sushi Knife for Right-Handed Use

A really high quality professional Sushi knife will cost several hundred $$ and they do have the feel of a fine precision instrument. Each example of Japanese cutlery is designed to only perform a specific task, and so complex that it takes some study to remember their names and just exactly what they do. The amateur cook would be fortunate to gain experience at creating the perfection of Japanese cuisine. The Santoku is probably the most famous Japanese knife and are found in many home kitchens because of their versatility, but a professional Yanagiba is rarely found in non-professional environments. A boning knife or slicer will provide adequate service instead, but a connoisseur of cooking will eventually have a collection of the finest Japanese cutlery available, and will certainly know how to use each of them. A long time ago I needed a sharp steak knife and found some in the kitchen utensils section at my local grocery store. Little did I expect these knives would last a lifetime, but after daily use for all those years they still remain shiny and sharp today, never once needing to be sharpened. Consider this SAWKIT Yanagiba to be of similar quality as those wonderful Japanese stainless steak knives that I purchased for just a few dollars over 50 years ago. This SAWKIT likely uses an equivalent stainless steel and it might even last several years before its special right-hand edge needs a sharpening. This knife is also excellent for practicing and raising your sharpening skills, but I would certainly not recommend using the included sharpener. And never use an electric knife sharpener because that will surely destroy them. Instead, be smart and do a Youtube search for BURRFECTION, where you can watch videos of a true expert demonstrating everything necessary to keep your Japanese cutlery in perfect condition the right way.

This knife exceeded my expectations - have other similar knives that are better looking and cost substantially more- Worked well out of the box - I spent less than 20 min refining the flatness and bevel with water stones - Now I have a knife that performs like the higher end ones but I wont be upset if it accidentally ends up in the dishwasher you cant beat this for the price

At this price I was initially very skeptical how well it can handle cutting sushi rolls. I was very surprise once I tested it out the sharpness and how it able to cut through the seaweed wrap with laser sharp precision. I like how one side of the blade is flat and other side is at an angle which what a real sushi knife should be. The wooden handle plus the whole knife itself is very light. That could be a pro or con depending how you like you knives. For $20 and the quality and sharpness and how much I will be using this is total bargain for me.

It feels very cheap I almost returned it but decided to keep it as a spare knife, I’m a professional sushi chef and use my knifes constantly for 8 hrs a day 5 days a week, although it feels cheaply made I was surprised at how sharp it was. It’s very lightweight so it aids me as cutting sushi rolls and fish all day can be straining on hands so the lightweight of this knife helps combat that a lot. The blade is very thin so the edge doesn’t hold up very long (maybe a week at most of constant use) but the blade being thin is also an upside as sharpening it is very easy and doesn’t take much time and you can get it razor sharp. I have been recommending this knife to my new chefs and after they’ve used it they wanted one also, it’s a great starter knife or beater knife for $20 it’s worth it just don’t expect it to last years and years like the pricier knifes,

Muy buen producto

dollar store would not sell thus knife in the stores because it is made so cheap. useless garbage.

Lose a star because Amazon didn't deliver on Thursday, didn't deliver Friday but finally did deliver on Saturday. Lose a star because knife is bent in box. In the box it was immediately the tip was not in line with the handle. Holding up by a cabinet door it's easy to see how far the tip is out of line with the handle. The bend is right at the handle. Blade is single bevel but a dual bevel ceramic rod mini sharpener is included in the box.

The best purchase for sushi time
