Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba 30cm

Kai Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba 30cm Japanese Slicing Knife

The Kai Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba 30cm is a long single-bevel Japanese sashimi knife. It has a 300mm molybdenum vanadium stainless steel blade, a hand-sharpened 16° edge and an octagonal black pakka wood handle.

Why Choose the 30cm Length?

The 300mm blade is 30mm longer than the 27cm KK yanagiba. The extra length gives a longer stroke, so wider fillets and larger blocks of fish can be cut in a single draw. It suits chefs who regularly portion bigger fish or prefer a full-length traditional slicer.

What Is a Yanagiba?

A yanagiba, or “willow blade”, is the traditional Japanese knife for slicing raw fish. Its long blade lets each slice be made in one continuous draw from heel to tip. The heavier blade and thick spine help it travel through fish and boneless meat with little pressure.
