Customer Review: I recently began working in a Sushi Bar, where I was required to invest in my own knives. I wanted a good knife but didn't want to pay an exorbitant amount. Some Yanagiba and other sushi knives can cost upwards of $1000 a piece! I purchased this 10.5" Bunmei Yanagiba Knife and have found it exceeded... more info
Customer Review: I'm a professional chef, and just picked up this knife. When i opened the box, i noticed there was almost no edge on it. I think the back of the knife was actually sharper. I do all my own sharpening but after a few swipes on the stones, i noticed the blade is not only bent, it has a "wave" to the... more info
Customer Review: This knife is the ultimate in slicing raw fish. The square tip is in the "Osaka style", which makes it a little more unique than other traditional sushi knives.

Customer Review: This Deba is a heavy duty knife ideal for hacking up a fish or chicken. It has enough weight to cut through the bones easily. This is not a general purpose knife. It is ground only on one side of the blade, so it tends to cut at an angle on soft items, like tomatoes. Well made, wooden handle, should... more info
Customer Review: After doing much research on top quality cutlery, I decided to go with this Bunmei 195mm Deba. This knife is by far the coolest knife I have used. One word of caution: knives produced by Yoshikin, such as this one, are EXTREMELY SHARP! I am not a professional chef, but I do often enjoy preparing... more info
