## Description

Achieving ultra-thin slices for sashimi and sushi is a breeze with our Wasabi Black 9-Inch Yanagiba Knife. Our Wasabi line of knives feature traditional Japanese blade styling, and our 9-inch Yanagiba knife is no exception. This Yanagiba Knife features unsurpassed cutting performance due to the Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless which maintains superior edge retention. To reduce food sticking, the blades are sharpened on a single side. Although it has a traditional blade-style, it is paired with a uniquely modern handle material, polypropylene blended with bamboo powder for super clean food preparation.

Review: Excellent knife with a decent balance - I've been using Kai wasabi series for a little over 7 years, this is my 2nd gyuto. If you are a beginner for Japanese knifes, this is an excellent 101. It has a fine grip and and excellent balance. Keeps the sharpness for long. Super handy with veggies and all kinds of meat. For sharpening I would recommend a whetstone. Delivery took around 10 days, thank you.
Review: Disappointing. I was shocked that my IKEA knife was sharper - I had really high expections after reading the reviews online, but I was disappointed by its sharpness. My IKEA knife did a better job.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in Japan or China?**
A: Made in Japan

**Q: These type of knives are usually ground for right handed cooks (single vs double bevel). Any lefties using these?**
A: I am left handed.  The single bevel grind you are referring to is what's called a "chisel-grind", and as such are designed with either right-hand specific, or left-hand specific users in mind.  Only the Deba, Usuba, and Yanagiba knives from the Wasabi line are chisel-ground (right handed orientation).  All of the other knives from Wasabi are made with a standard 50/50 grind and will be suitable for left-handed users like myself.  Hope this helps.

**Q: is this a forged knife ?**
A: Japanese knives by the larger companies are by and large stamped.  However, the quality of the steel they use, fit and finish, and meticulous attention to detail make this distinction pretty much moot when it comes to the quality of their knives. Anybody who has used a Japanese knife by any of the well-known brands can tell you their knives are incredible, regardless of whether they were forged or not.

**Q: Anyone else had problems with rust? I hand-washed and left this knife on a drying pad for a week, now it's got rust spots all over.**
A: First you are not respecting your tools.  Knives, all knives need and deserve care.  Hand wash, then hand dry. Store in a sheath or in a drawer away from moisture. Wipe with a thin coat of olive oil if you wish. 

I own the 8" Deba with the bamboo colored handle for over 10 years, it is still sharp and never spotted or rusted. It is made with ultra high carbon Molybdenum steel. So it can get spots, but I take care of my things so I never had an issue. Btw, I'm a 21 year veteran chef.
