10" Yanagiba Sushi Knife - Stainless Steel With Rose Wood Handle - Professional Slicing Chef Knife for Sashimi

I have decades of kitchen experience, beginning at age seven cooking alongside my mother for large family gatherings and later working in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Over the years, I’ve handled many high quality, hand-forged knives, and I routinely purchase and evaluate new knives every few months. I’ve been considering a sushi knife for some time but remained hesitant. After reading the reviews, I decided to try this one and it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I opened the box, the quality was immediately apparent. The knife feels solid and well-balanced, arrived razor sharp, and features a beautifully finished handle. What makes this even more impressive is the price: I paid under $20 including tax, which is exceptional for the level of craftsmanship offered. This is a well made, functional knife that performs far above its price point. I’m very pleased with the purchase and expect it to remain a dependable part of my kitchen for years to come.

BigSunny does it again. These are good knives! This is my second knife, my first being a yanagiba. Both have perfect shapes. Grinds are perfect and correct for these single bevel knives. Handles are properly shaped, comfortable, and have no gaps anywhere. Fit to the blades are superb. Not sure of the steel they use, but it's not bad. Holds an edge decently well and sharpens easily. If they used a more premium steel these knives could easily sell for a few hundred dollars. I personally think they under price them as it is. Great job with these knives. Keep it up BigSunny!

This is a really good knife for the money, but you do need to know a couple of things. Being a Japanese grind, it is beveled on only one side (the right one) so it is suitable only for right handed use. Second, it is sturdy, but not intended for heavy chopping. Do not use this as a deba or usuba. If you keep those two things in mind, you will be delighted with the quality and feel of this knife. Nice German steel, arrives honed and ready, and a truly comfortable handle, although it is symmetrical (I prefer Japanese knives to have the traditional asymmetrical handle that has a bulge to fit your fingers). But the price is amazing for the quality. Great for veggie and fruit prep!

I took a chance on this low priced knife and was very pleasantly surprised. Good German steel, extremely sharp right out of the box, easy to sharpen with a good two stage stone, handles very well on delicate fish and light vegetables, and feels good in the hand. Just a couple minor surprises - the blade is only beveled on the right side so I would consider this a knife that is best suited for right handers, and it is not a full tang handle so it's definitely not for heavy duty cutting. But I guess both of these features make sense for a light duty filet/sushi knife. They just should have mentioned these things in the description so people can be fully informed and better decide if it's the right knife for them. Luckily, it is definitely the right knife for me. As for the one fairly negative review that was very critical of a sushi knife being made in China, I had to chuckle. There are a lot of very high quality products made in China. It just depends on the specs, design, materials and quality control implemented by the company ordering and marketing the finished product. His belief that a good sushi knife can't be made in China makes about as much sense as someone saying that all foreign cars in the United States are not capable of being properly driven on U.S. roads. Silly! Just pick and choose carefully the products you buy no matter where they're made.

Knife was decent. couldn't really keep a sharp edge for long. And it isnt used for heavy duty. Ofcoarse when I get a new knife. I have to try it out for heavy duty. Apparently the blade chipped easily. the knife itself is better used for and ONLY VEGETABLES

Blade wiggles off the handle. The blade doesn’t feel secured inside the wood handle. Considering the wait of the blade I am worried it will fall off the handle and stab my foot. Learned my lesson buying $50 dollar Deba knife…

I always wanted a Deba. Ever since I watched my fav sushi chef use his to clean whole fish, I thought that I could use one. Well, I was right. Love this knife.I was steaking up a big Kingfish the other day and this sliced right through the backbone with very little effort. Watch your fingers! Happy with my purchase!

Handle is broken

not disapointed

Ottimo bilanciamento,taglio veramente easy! forse 200gr in meno sul peso ma son piccolezze! Rapporto qualità prezzo? Superiore! Consiglio con pietra e rispettare la “poesia” che sono le lame importanti! Con pietra non darete in mano a maniscalchi i prolungamenti della vostra fantasia e sicuramente potrete aiutare altri ad affilare e rendere più facile il taglio ai vostri colleghi❤️‍🔥

Sharp straight out the box. A leather strop makes them even sharper, so be careful. I've seen reviews complaining about the handles breaking. Personally no issues so far .

It is exactly what they tell you it is. It's a cheap, $50 deba with surprisingly good build quality. The handle is beautiful and highly unexpected at this price point and the tang is nicely sealed at the handle. The blade has heft, is nice and sharp ootb and the logo isn't obnoxious like a lot of these Amazon knives are. This isn't a true single bevel knife but it works just fine as one. If you manage your expectations for this $50 knife from Amazon it will probably exceed them a bit.

I appreciate the boxes.. And I like the quality.. Thank you so much I will order again..🥰🙏
