Introducing the one-of-a-kind Bocote Yanagiba, forged by John Phillips and crafted for precision and grace in every cut. A Yanagiba knife, often referred to as a "sushi knife," is a traditional Japanese slicing knife that is primarily designed for slicing boneless fish fillets for sashimi and sushi dishes. Its long, thin blade is ideal for creating clean, precise cuts without tearing, crumbling or crushing the delicate flesh of fish, fruits, meats and vegetables.
