Product Description: HanaBlades 205mm Professional Yanagiba Experience the Art of Precision Slicing Elevate your sushi and sashimi preparation with the HanaBlades 205mm Yanagiba, a traditional Japanese slicing knife masterfully crafted in Seki City, Japan. Renowned for centuries of blade-making heritage, Seki craftsmanship ensures that every cut is an exercise in effortless precision. Superior Material & Edge Retention Forged from premium Molybdenum Vanadium (MV) Stainless Steel, this blade is vacuum heat-treated to a hardness of 58±1 HRC. This specific metallurgical balance provides a razor-sharp edge that is durable enough for professional use, yet remains easy to maintain and sharpen compared to more brittle high-carbon steels.

The geometry of the blade ensures that the food pulls away cleanly, preserving the delicate texture, natural oils, and aesthetic presentation of your ingredients. Ergonomic Balance & Durability The knife features a reinforced black laminated wood handle, offering a classic aesthetic with modern resilience. This moisture-resistant handle provides a secure, comfortable grip even during extended prep sessions, ensuring perfect balance between the 205mm blade and your hand.
