## Long description

The Samura Kaiju SKJ-0045B Yanagiba Kitchen Knife 240mm is a specialized slicing tool designed for culinary professionals and home cooking enthusiasts. Featuring a 240mm blade crafted from single-layer AUS-8 hammered Japanese steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, this knife offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting edge retention. It is equipped with a bolster for enhanced balance and comfort during extended use, combining a classical silhouette with a traditional wooden handle and a wavy-shaped, polished edge.
Advantages
This Yanagiba knife stands out due to its specialized geometry, featuring a long, rigid, and narrow blade that does not bend during use. The single-layer steel with a distinctive blacksmith-forged pattern ensures optimal performance, while the integrated bolster provides a secure grip and improved weight distribution. The blade maintains its sharpness for extended periods, and the aesthetic design featuring nielloed hammered steel adds a striking visual element to any kitchen environment.
Suitable for
Slicing sushi, sashimi, and rolls
Thinly slicing raw fish and gourmet foods
Fileting fish, chicken, and other meats
Cutting large vegetables with hard skins such as melons and gourds
When it may not be suitable
This knife is not designed for heavy-duty tasks such as chopping through large bones, frozen foods, or dense rinds. Due to its specialized long and narrow single-bevel style blade geometry, it may not serve as an efficient all-purpose cleaver for everyday rough chopping.

How to use

What to consider before purchase
Assess whether a specialized 240mm slicing blade fits your daily cooking habits
Verify if you prefer a traditional wooden handle requiring standard kitchen knife care
Note that this knife is optimized primarily for precision slicing and fileting rather than general heavy chopping
Wash the Samura Kaiju Yanagiba knife by hand using mild detergent immediately after use, dry it thoroughly with a soft towel, and store it safely in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the polished edge.
