Product Overview

The Verdun OVD-16 is a 210 mm yanagi-style sashimi knife for slicing prepared, boneless fish. Its long, narrow blade gives room for a controlled drawing stroke, while the curved stainless-steel handle continues the line’s all-metal design.

Made in Japan, it pairs a stainless-steel blade with the Verdun range’s smooth, contoured stainless-steel handle. The all-metal construction is dishwasher safe; cleaning promptly and drying thoroughly also helps keep the blade ready for its next use.

A 210 mm sashimi profile

A narrow 210 mm blade gives the OVD-16 its sashimi-knife profile. Use it for controlled slices through prepared, boneless fish, allowing the blade length to support a smooth drawing motion.

Choose the 210 mm model when it suits the size of the fillet and your board. The 240 mm OVD-163 offers a longer option in the same series; neither profile should be used for chopping bones or frozen food.

OVD-16 contoured stainless-steel handle and blade

A smooth, all-metal grip

The contoured stainless-steel handle curves into the blade without wooden scales or exposed handle rivets. Its smooth surface is easy to wipe clean after preparation, and the all-silver finish coordinates with the other Verdun profiles.

Choose the blade shape for the work you do rather than selecting by appearance alone. The range includes general-purpose gyutos, fish-preparation deba and yanagi profiles, and a broad Chinese-style knife.

Clean, dry and protect the edge

This stainless-steel knife is dishwasher safe. For careful day-to-day handling, wash it separately with a soft sponge, rinse away food residue and dry the blade and handle thoroughly. Do not leave it hidden in a sink or resting against other utensils.

Store the knife dry with the cutting edge protected. When the edge needs attention, use a sharpening method suited to the knife’s actual bevel; do not assume all Verdun blade shapes use the same technique.
