The Yanagi kitchen knife from the Japanese brand Satake is an excellent variation of a Sashimi knife. Its exceptional blade is perfect for slicing both fish and meat in one smooth motion without the need for excessive pressure. Additionally, the knife is great for fish dressing and skinning after removing the bones. The name "Yanagi" means "willow" in Japanese, referring to the characteristic blade construction, which resembles a willow leaf with its thinness.
The knife is lightweight and perfectly balanced, which you will undoubtedly appreciate when peeling vegetables and fruits. The blade of the knife retains its sharpness for a long time. It's worth emphasizing that the knife is designed for left-handed individuals and features a handle made of magnolia wood.
