Professional Single Bevel Right-handed Sashimi Knife with Hitachi Yasuki SLD High Carbon Steel and HRC 62±2 Hardness

This professional Yanagiba sashimi knife is crafted from Japanese Hitachi Yasuki SLD high-carbon steel, built for precise sashimi preparation and commercial kitchen use.

Heat-treated to HRC 62±2, SLD steel delivers exceptional edge retention, rigidity and toughness. It resists chipping and rolling far better than traditional Japanese Aogami and Shirogami carbon steels.

Its corrosion resistance is improved compared with standard carbon steel, making it suitable for daily raw fish and seafood work. Please note: SLD is not fully stainless steel. Simple cleaning and drying after use will maintain its best condition.

• Premium Yasuki SLD Steel – Offers outstanding hardness and edge stability. Stays sharp through continuous daily slicing and avoids easy deformation or dullness, outperforming classic carbon blades in durability and oxidation resistance.
• Handmade Single-Bevel Edge – Artisan hand-polished single-bevel blade ensures ultra-thin slicing performance. Glides smoothly through salmon, tuna and seafood without squeezing or damaging flesh. Every cut remains clean, flat and texture-preserving for professional Japanese cuisine presentation.
• Ergonomic Octagonal Wooden Handle – High-density natural hardwood handle with classic Japanese octagonal design. Anti-slip even when wet, suitable for both left and right hands. Full-tang construction guarantees zero wobble, providing stable control during long-hour professional prep work.
• Humanized Polishing & Balanced Weight – Fully rounded spine prevents finger fatigue. Optimized blade balance allows effortless natural slicing. Matte vintage finish combines professional functionality with minimalist Japanese kitchen aesthetics.

Ideal for sushi restaurants, Japanese kitchens, fine dining and premium home use. Perfect for sashimi, raw fish, cold cuts, cheese and fruit slicing.
