Product Description

If you're looking for a long, super-light, single-bevel left handed yanagiba sashimi knife at a great price, you may have just found it.

In Japanese yanagiba means 'willow leaf' and 'usui' means thin. The Nojiyama Marunaka 'usu yanagiba' is a thinner than usual, lighter than usual single-bevel sashimi knife. Kinda interesting that the Chinese written character used for 'usui'(薄)is also used for susuki - Japanese pampas grass - so we could think of this as a pampas leaf knife, rather than a willow leaf knife. At a stretch.

Then again, you could just call it a great find.
