Yanagibas are commonly used for slicing sashimi, but can also be used for carving other meats like roast beef and prime rib.

    AUS-8 INOX Steel

    The AUS-8 INOX is perfect for a young sushi chef or amateur home cook wanting to break into the world of sushi. Knives forged out of AUS-8, stainless steel are harder than your average kitchen knives but not quite as hard as some of the carbon and high-tech steels of Japan. In normal speak, it will keep an incredible edge for a long time but is more durable than some higher-end knives. It's also more resistance to corrosion. 

    Maintenance

    Store the knife with care, e.g. in a knife block or magnetic shelf. Keep the blade sharp with a sharpening steel (regularly) or whetstone (when necessary) on one side.

    Clean the blade with warm water and a little soap. Especially after cutting acidic products, it is recommended to clean the knife immediately. A Japanese knife can absolutely not be put in the dishwasher, both the blade and handle are irrevocably damaged.
