Japanese Yanagiba Sashimi Sushi Knife, Soufull 325mm Stainless Steel Professional Sashimi Knife with Razor Sharp Blade

UPDATE: 1/3/2018 - I wanted to update my review of this knife as I wanted to use it for a while before leaving a 5 star review. The blade of the knife has held up extremely well and cuts just as sharp as i did out of the box. I use this knife to breakdown chicken wing sections, cutting vegetables, and portioning fish. The knife works very well as the thin blade makes for precision cuts on vegetables like onions that may need to be minced. I store the knife on my magnetic knife bar and have had no issues. As long as you use proper knife cleaning you will be fine. Oh and the customer service is great as well.This is a very beautiful knife and straight out of the box is really sharp. I have a couple of more expensive knives that I use mainly, yet wanted something else for smaller jobs. The first knife that arrived had the tip broken, however their customer service was amazing. I sent them an email with my order number and received a replacement in a day or so. I have used the knife for about a week now to breakdown whole chicken wings and leg quarters. It doesn't need to be sharpened and hasn't been nicked yet.

Bought this as a gift, my mom said she loves it. Light, cuts well and uses the bottom to crush things.

I picked this knife up because it was on sale, but I have no arguments with it. I like the way it feels in my hand, and I find myself using it far more than I thought I would. I have more expensive knives, but this one gets daily use.

Got this about 3 weeks ago. Use it daily. Pretty sharp. Very cool Damascus pattern on it. Love the grip. I have large hands and it fits well. Only thing i would say to change is it needs a better sharper edge in it. Other than that, great knife for the money.

My second effort to post a review on this not sure what is happening. The knife is great good balance. Strong tang and the blade is beautiful as well as functional. Only con was i had some minor rough areas on the grind but a few swipes on a stone and this was great. Handle is very solid well mounted to the tang and the point needle sharp.

Arrived on time, nicely packaged. I used the knife once and cut through the meat easily, very sharp. Handle is heavier than what I'm use to. Will see how well it does over time.

The purpose of a yanigaba is to cut through fish in one stroke. This knife comes dull out of the box and won't hold a great edge even after serious stone work. Considering how cheap it is, it kind of is what it is, but you'll better off dropping a few more dollars for a knife that will serve its purpose.

gorgeous and very nice. a little thinner blade than I was expecting but definitely makes work in the kitchen smoother.
