The Tsunehisa ginsan yanagiba 270mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife with a 270mm blade, offering ample length for smooth, single-stroke cuts. Crafted from Hitachi's Ginsan stainless steel, the knife combines the sharpness and ease of sharpening typically associated with carbon steel, while maintaining the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
This yanagiba knife excels in traditional Japanese cuisine, particularly for creating thin, uniform slices of raw fish for sashimi and sushi. Its long, narrow blade minimizes friction during slicing, resulting in clean and precise cuts. At 270mm, it's suitable for home cooks and professional sushi chefs working in limited kitchen spaces, offering a balance between performance and maneuverability.
