This is the second Shun pro yanagi that I bought. I bought my first one back in 2006 and that one, by far, is the best knife I have ever owned. All of the new design changes made them flaws in my opinion. As a kitchen professional, I value practicality over aesthetics everytime. The new laser etched pattern makes the knife more time consuming to keep clean. The new handle is shaped more like the japanese ones now, which is very slim and better suited for people with very small hands. I have average size hands, but I find that the original handle (much bigger in diameter) is more comfortable for me to use. The one thing that thankfully kershaw did not change is the blade shape and that is the only reason why I gave it three stars. The blade shape makes it very easy to glide through whatever I am cutting with ease and also the VG-10 steel along with its perfectly shaped one sided blade make it very easy to keep it sharp as well. I also got a wood saya for free by mail back in 2006 and now, no saya, that sucks!! Everyone that tried my original knife loved it, but sadly, I can't recommed this knife anymore because the new design makes it so different that those same people dislike the new one as well.

This knife is perfect for slicing and preparing raw fish. I use it all the time when I make sushi (about once a week, sometimes more.) It does an excellent job and all the cuts are clean and do not tear the fish. The size is also great in my opinion, it is not too large or too small. The beauty of the knife goes without saying, it is wonderfully made and looks good in any setup. I fully recommend it if you are looking for a knife for sushi or any raw fish preparation.

This is a great knife for slicing my home-made gravlax.

Sharp, well balanced, with good length for making clean-cut, thin slices.

Honest reviews on Shun Pro Yanagiba Knife

We have a couple of these types knives. Artistically they are a beautiful work of art but I don't purchase for the beauty alone. They work! These knives are sharp and stay sharp. While I haven't had a lot of time to really learn how to work with this one it is very good for soft vegetables and protein--meat, fish. It will slice the vegetables and fish as thin as you can make them. Ergonomically it is perfect for my hands. It is a fairly heavy knife, well balanced and very easy to use.

The price was very competitive and it shipped quickly. I am very happy and will purchase more of these knives--when I can afford them.
