About this product

Blade length: 9-1/8 inches; 15 inches overall
Blade: Shirogami white steel and soft iron
Handle: Magnolia wood with dark collar
Made in Japan
For left-handed use

The Tojiro Shirogami F908-L is a left-handed yanagi for sashimi preparation. Its long, narrow blade gives you room to draw the edge through fish, while the pointed tip supports precise finishing cuts. Choose it when a dedicated slicing knife belongs alongside the broader knives used for initial fish preparation.

The Shirogami blade combines white steel with soft iron and a natural wooden grip. This construction is easy to re-sharpen for regular edge maintenance.

Product Overview

A Shirogami white-steel core and soft-iron outer layer form the blade. This traditional construction is easy to re-sharpen, making regular edge maintenance part of the working routine. The natural wooden handle and black plastic collar complete the Japanese-made knife.

The F908-L is the shorter of the two left-handed Shirogami yanagi models shown here. Consider the size of the fish portions, the space on your board and the knife’s full length when choosing between it and the F909-1L. Select the left-handed version for your working hand, rather than choosing by blade length alone.

A yanagi for deliberate slicing

Use the long, narrow blade to draw through a portion of fish with a controlled slicing motion. The pointed tip provides a precise end to the cutting edge, while the blade’s slim outline suits sashimi work.

Pair this knife with a preparation knife suited to the earlier stages of fish breakdown. The yanagi takes over when the task is slicing portions for presentation, making the blade shape as important as its length.

Wooden handle and collar

A natural wooden handle meets the blade through a dark plastic collar. This traditional grip gives your hand a defined position behind the slender yanagi blade.

For left-handed cooks

F908-L is the left-handed yanagi model. Match this configuration to your working hand before comparing blade length or choosing another knife from the range.

Dedicated sashimi length

The 240 mm yanagi format is the shorter left-handed option in this Shirogami selection. Leave clear board space for an uninterrupted drawing cut and protect the full blade during storage.

F908-L knife in a kitchen preparation setting

Shirogami steel you can maintain

The white-steel core and soft-iron outer layer are central to this knife’s construction. Easy re-sharpening makes it a practical choice for cooks who maintain their own edges and prefer a traditional Japanese steel.

Use a sharpening method suited to the knife’s edge and handedness. Keep the blade clean and dry between tasks, and protect the cutting edge from contact with other utensils in storage.

A traditional grip for left-handed work

The natural wooden handle joins the blade through a black plastic collar. Its simple grip keeps the hand behind the blade heel and gives the knife the familiar appearance of the Shirogami series.

The F908-L designation identifies the left-handed version. When building a knife set, keep that requirement alongside blade shape and working length so the slicer suits the cook who will use it.
