They feature a long, slender blade, allowing the user to make long drawing strokes for the perfect slice. Being single beveled, they angle in from only one side of the blade and thus are super sharp. Minimizing cellular damage to raw fish before consuming it preserves the freshness, texture, and flavour of the fish. The Yanagiba does just that, making it the preferred tool for Japanese sushi chefs when slicing sashimi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*THIS KNIFE IS FOR RIGHT HANDED USERS ONLY*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to Maintain an Iron Clad Knife!\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hEZOgRuZ8VQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Iron Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Knife is made from 3 layers of material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding.
