How to Use:

Use the Kai Wasabi Yanagiba Knife with a smooth, forward slicing motion—ideal for sashimi, sushi, or thin cuts of meat. Avoid chopping or twisting the blade to preserve its fine edge. Hand wash with gentle soap, rinse, and towel dry immediately. Store safely in a sheath, knife block, or on a magnetic holder. Regular honing helps maintain sharpness and extend blade life.
