【What is Yanagiba knife?】
Yanagiba knife is used for making fresh sashimi right after dismantling fish. It is called "Yanagi-ba" as the sharpness of the blade resembles a willow leaf (yanagi-ba) in Japanese. It is a single-edged knife with a blade on only one side. It can cut the cross section of the fish/food sharply so the corner can be made crisp. While Santoku/Gyuto are used in 'pushing cutting', the Yanagi-ba is used in ‘pulling to cut' only.

【 Blue Steel (Blue Paper Steel)】
Blue paper steel is one of the most expensive steel for making Japanese knives.
The biggest characteristic of blue steel is that the excellence at edge retention and sharpness.
