This is a sashimi knife used for preparing beautiful sashimi after filleting a fish.
Its blade shape resembles a willow leaf, hence the name "yanagiba" (willow blade).
Since it is a single-edged knife with a blade on only one side,
it can make clean, sharp cuts and leave crisp edges on ingredients.
Santoku and gyuto knives cut by pushing, but the yanagiba knife is characterized by cutting by pulling.
As the saying goes, "the more a blade rusts, the better it cuts," this knife uses high-carbon steel known for its excellent sharpness.

Thoughts on Ai knives
Thoughts on Ai knives
There is a reason why I decided to create a knife with a new concept called the Ai knife.
I wanted to make Japanese knives more hygienic, and I wanted to stimulate the manufacturing industry and craftsmen by creating new value.
In order to create value that is unaffected by time and culture, we decided to develop products centered on functionality and people.
When it comes to tools, functionality is more important than design. It involves people, not machines. I thought that something that is spontaneous and unique to humans, and in a sense resembles folk art, would resonate with the hearts of those of us who are tired of mass production and mass consumption. Possibilities created by craftsmen who would otherwise never have met.
We hope that the value of collaboration with artisans can be conveyed to everyone through the Ai knife!
