Description of Shun VG0210 Y Pro 8-1/4-Inch Yanagiba Knife
Shun Pro is kitchen cutlery for the ultimate knife connoisseur. It features the design preferred by professional Japanese chefs -a one sided, beveled edge with a hollow-ground back. The single bevel design design means an incredibly sharp edge that's easy to maintain. Further, the hollow-ground back creates an air pocket, between the blade and the food being cut. The result is less sticking to the blade and less friction damage to the food.Designed to effortlessly slice delicate morsels of fresh fish, this elegant Yanagiba or sashimi knife is an essential tool for any home sushi chef. A long narrow blade measuring 8-1/4 inches in length carries a razor-sharp edge to cut into soft raw fish without crushing or damaging and finishes with a pointed tip for intricate tasks. Also available in two additional lengths: 9-1/2 and 10-5/8 inches.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Combining high-carbon stain-resistant "super steel" with a one-sided, single-bevel design results in an exceptionally strong, sharp blade. Holding its sharpness longer, a Shun knife offers simplified maintenance on top of its superior performance. Flipping the knife over shows a subtly concave backside created to resist sticking and avoid damaging food. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
