Shun Cutlery Dual Core Yanagiba Knife, 10.5, Traditional Design, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife

The Shun Dual Core 10.5-inch Yanagiba Knife allows you to prepare perfect, beautiful cuts of sushi with ease. This traditional Japanese-style knife shares the same length, weight, and single-beveled design as the classic Yanagiba, but with a thicker blade stock than the rest of the Dual Core series, providing the heft and rigidity needed to glide through cuts effortlessly.

The gentle hollow grind on the back of the blade facilitates easier food release, while the 71 alternating micro-layers of high-carbon, high-chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steel extend all the way to the edge, ensuring a long-lasting, high-performance, and razor-sharp cutting edge.

The traditional octagon-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, with a rabbet tang that controls the weight and enhances the knife's maneuverability. The knife also includes a protective wooden saya for storage.
