Yanagiba Knives Sharpening by Blade Medic
About Yanagiba Knives
Yanagiba knives are traditional Japanese sashimi knives, prized for their ability to create smooth, precise slices of raw fish. These knives feature a long, narrow blade and are designed specifically for cutting delicate fish fillets, making them an essential tool in sushi and sashimi preparation.
Design and Purpose
Yanagiba knives are characterized by their:
- Blade Length: Typically ranging from 8 to 12 inches.
- Blade Shape: A long, slender blade with a single bevel edge, designed for creating clean, smooth cuts.
- Handle: Often made from traditional Japanese materials, providing a comfortable and secure grip for precise control.
This design makes the Yanagiba knife ideal for slicing raw fish and other delicate proteins with minimal friction and maximum precision.
Typical Cutting Edge Angle
The cutting edge angle of a Yanagiba knife is critical for its performance in slicing raw fish. Most Yanagiba knives have a blade edge angle between 10 and 15 degrees. This sharp angle allows for extremely precise cuts, ensuring that each slice is smooth and intact.
| Knife Type | Edge Angle |
|---|---|
| Standard Yanagiba Knife | 15 degrees |
| Professional Yanagiba Knife | 10 degrees |
