Tosuke Yanagiba 240mm Chef's Knife - Tosa Carbon Steel Hocho Knife

Tosuke Yanagiba 240mm Chef's Knife - Tosa Carbon Steel Hocho Knife
 
The blades are made of steel with a high carbon content, which gives them a sharp cutting edge and makes them easy to sharpen.
The name Yanagiba ‘willow blade’ originates from the fact that it is thin and long like a willow leaf, and is mainly used for cutting sashimi.
The blade is ‘single-edged’ and is therefore for right-handers only.
Compared to double-edged knives, single-edged knives have a better bite and sharper cutting edge, and chefs and serious cooks tend to prefer single-edged knives.
Knife size: Approx. 39cm
Blade length: approx. 24cm
Made of Carbon Steel, Walnut wood, Plastic
Made in Kochi, Japan
Please do not cut frozen food while it is still frozen.
The surface is thinly varnished by hand by craftsmen to prevent rusting. This gives the entire blade a sheen, but it is perfectly safe to use as is.
