Yanagiba: A single bevel knife used for slicing raw fish. The Yanagiba has a very thin edge for precision knife work. This knife is best suited for the pull cutting technique used by sushi chefs. The single bevel design allows the knife to glide through food disturbing as little protein molecules as possible, resulting in shiny slices of food perfect for raw presentation.
