10.5" Yanagiba 270mm Sashimi Knife 10Cr15 Clad Steel Right Handed Ebony Urasuki

NAGIBA Yanagiba — Single-Bevel Slicer | 270mm

About the Blade Finish (Please Read)

This knife is made with traditional clad construction (kasumi / awase): a hard 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel cutting core clad with a softer stainless jacket. Under certain lighting angles, you may notice slight waviness or an uneven reflection along the blade surface. This is a natural characteristic of clad blades — not a defect, dent, or damage. Under normal lighting the surface appears smooth, and it has no effect on sharpness, edge performance, or durability. Each blade is hand-finished, so the cladding line and surface texture are unique to every knife.

Professional 270mm (10.5") Yanagiba — Masterpiece of Clad Steel Craftsmanship

This is a professional-grade sashimi knife designed for chefs who demand precision. It features a traditional Clad Steel (Laminated) construction and an authentic Urasuki concave back for the ultimate slicing experience.

1. Traditional Clad Steel Construction

• The Performance: Unlike cheap mono-steel knives, this blade is built using a 3-layer Clad (San Mai) process.

• Hard Core: The cutting edge is premium 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon steel (\bm{60\pm2} HRC), providing razor-like sharpness and incredible edge retention.

• Tough Cladding: The core is laminated between two layers of softer stainless steel. This "sandwich" design ensures the blade is extremely tough, resistant to snapping, and easier to sharpen than solid hard-steel knives.

2. Authentic Urasuki Design

• The Concave Back: As shown in our Ruler Test Photo, the back side of the blade features a precision-ground Urasuki (concave) shape.

• The Science: This hollow ground creates a microscopic air pocket between the fish and the blade.

• The Result: It significantly reduces friction and prevents delicate sashimi from sticking to the knife. You get clean, professional cuts with zero drag every time.

3. Luxury Ebony & Genuine Ox Horn Handle

• Premium Grip: The octagonal handle is crafted from high-density Ebony Wood, known for its water resistance and natural beauty.

• Professional Bolster: Finished with a genuine Ox Horn bolster for a seamless, comfortable transition and perfect balance.
