The Sakai Takayuki Yanagi 270mm is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife made for slicing raw fish in one long, clean stroke. Crafted by Aoki Hamono in Sakai, it brings the razor sharpness of a classic single-bevel yanagiba together with rust-resistant Inox steel — so you get pro-level sashimi cuts without the delicate upkeep of carbon steel.
Sakai Takayuki Yanagi – Made for Sashimi and Sushi
This is a single edged knife: the blade is sharpened on one side only, which lets it pass through fish with minimal cell damage for glossy, smooth slices. The 270mm (10.6") length is a popular all-round size for sushi chefs and serious home cooks, and the 60 HRC blade holds a keen edge. It makes an impressive gift for a sushi lover or anyone learning Japanese cuisine.

Blade & Handle
Aoki Hamono applies their expertise in crafting traditional knives to produce knives that are appealing to non-Japanese cooks. This series offers the sharpness of traditional single bevel blades but are rust-resistant and not as brittle, so more suitable for cooks who don't want to work with a delicate knife. The blade is actually made in the traditional style of the kasumi, but by layering Inox steel and soft stain-resistant steel instead of carbon steel and soft iron. The anti-bacterial handle ensures hygiene standards and is ideal for cooks who butcher fish or meat.
Yanagi Knife
Created for slicing raw fish, this yanagi is also ideal for carving cooked meat, thinly slicing vegetables or portioning terrines and pates.
