The Story
About Sakai Takayuki Tokujo - We dreamed of a single bevel knife line that would have all the shapes in stock, all the time. Like a 195mm Deba or a Sushi Kiri! And guess what? We couldn't get them all, all the time - typical! But what we can get is fantastic, these are excellent blades forged by Togashi-san with shirogami #2. They have a great edge and are a joy to sharpen.
About the Shape -Yanagibas are long, thin, single-bevel knives ground and sharpened on one side. Translating to “willow’s leaf,” they’re graceful and elegant like their name suggests. Yanagibas are commonly used for slicing sashimi, but can also be used for carving other meats like roast beef and prime rib.
