Yanagiba
Traditional Japanese knife with a long and thin blade, which was originally used for cutting thin slices of raw fish - yes, sushi! Nowadays it can also be used for cutting large pieces of meat (especially for steaks) due to its long, thin blade. Typical Yanagiba knives are between 240-360mm long and, according to some chefs, can be used for different kitchen tasks which require precision. Some distinguishing features of Yanagiba knives are a Japanese handle and a chisel ground blade with an extremely small angle. The expression "yanagiba" in Japan means "a willow", as the blade of the knife resembles a willow leaf.
