Shun | Dual Core Yanagiba, 10.5 inches
Meet your new slicing superstar: the Shun Dual Core 10.5-inch Yanagiba. We reach for it whenever sushi, sashimi, or fine fillets demand that one smooth, effortless stroke. Shun crafted this single-bevel beauty with a thicker blade for serious heft and rigidity, powering through proteins without a hint of drag. The gentle hollow grind on the back lets slices release like a dream.
Inside, a dual VG10 and VG2 core wrapped in 71 layers of Damascus steel holds a razor-sharp 16-degree edge that stays true season after season. At 8.6 ounces, it balances perfectly in your hand, making pro-level cuts feel intuitive for home cooks. The octagon ebony Pakkawood handle offers warm, bacteria-resistant comfort, and it comes with a beech wood sheath for safe storage. We chose it because nothing elevates raw fish or precise slices quite like this. Grab yours and let your knife work sing.
Handcrafted in Kyoto, Japan.
