Review: Great knife! - Great knife Very useful Review: Esperava mais. - Apesar de sua construção correta para esse tipo de faca japonesa, ela não é tão afiada quanto um Yanagiba deve ser. Mesmo após afiada corretamente, não possui um fio muito durável e muito menos impressionante. Confesso que o design me fez optar por essa faca, mas nem sempre o que é belo é bom! Se quiser uma Yanagiba de verdade, opte por uma de aço carbono ou VG-10. ## Features - JAPANESE SUSHI KNIFE: The Kai PRO 9.5-inch Yanagiba Knife is expertly designed to glide through cuts of fish with precision and ease, helping you prepare the perfect cuts of sushi or sashimi. - PRO LEVEL PERFORMANCE: Designed with both safety and durability in mind, the Kai PRO Series provides a lifetime of exceptional performance even with rigorous use. - RELIABLE SHARPNESS: Crafted with German DIN1.4116 stainless steel, this knife features a corrosion- and wear-resistant blade with a single bevel 16-degree edge that's easy to sharpen and glides through raw fish. - SUPERIOR CONTROL: The contoured POM handle is securely riveted to the full-tang blade, offering a sturdy and comfortable grip that instills confidence with every slice. - BEAUTIFUL, ACCESSIBLE BLADES: With over 100 years of blade making experience, Kai PRO provides beautiful, accessible cutlery, accessories and more to customers worldwide.

I have the Kai Pro Boning Knife and am extremely happy with it so I wanted to find out if the Yanagiba was any good. I know that at lower price points many Yanagibas lack distinguishing features such as a Single Bevel and a hollowed back so I asked in the question section about this. The seller (manufacturer) responded saying, “ Thank you for your question. Yes, the back side of the blade has the traditional Urasuki, hollow ground back.” This could technically be true, but it is so slight that it’s practically non-existent, nor has it been flattened or honed at the edges. Now we get to my real issue with the knife, it has a very significant secondary bevel, which is not shown in the product image. It is pretty steep, if I had to guess the edge angle is around 25-30 degrees. It isn’t a microbevel either it’s probably almost 1.5-2mm so grinding it away would take an unreasonable amount of time. The fit and finish is pretty nice unfortunately it will never excel at what it is meant to be used for because of critical design flaws. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kai PRO 9.5" Yanagiba Knife, Hand Sharpened Japanese Sashimi Knife, German DIN1.4116 Stainless Steel Blade, Full-Tang POM Handle, NSF Certified, Versatile Kitchen Tool - Hasegawa Plastic Sushi Rolling mat, Sushi Cooking mat, Blue Medium Size, 10" x 9.5" - Hasegawa 10 x 6.5 Inch Plastic Green Makisu/Sushi Rolling Mat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/433997018-kai-pro-yanagiba-knife-9-5-long-thin-blade-glides](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/433997018-kai-pro-yanagiba-knife-9-5-long-thin-blade-glides) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
