The quintessential sushi knife, the Shun Dual Core Yanagiba effortlessly slices through raw fish and other ingredients for exceptional, professional-grade cuts. Thicker blade stock gives the blade the precise heft to enable the weight of the blade itself to do the cutting. Razor-sharp 16-degree, single-bevel blade glides through every cut cleanly and with perfect ease. The Dual Core blade features 71 micro layers of two, premium-quality stainless steels: VG10 and VG2. These high-carbon, high-chromium steels are roll-forged to product a finer grain and increase strength. The laminated steel is then hot-forged to create the herringbone pattern and allow the layers to alternate along the blade edge, retaining Shun’s high level of performance longer. PakkaWood handle is a traditional Japanese octagon-shape, providing a comfortable, secure grip. Shun kitchen knives are handcrafted and hand-sharpened for excellence. A worthwhile investment, the Shun Yanagiba is an unparalleled knife.
