Product Overview

The Kai Sekimagoroku Kinju ST AK-1106 is a 240 mm yanagiba for slicing boneless fish and sashimi. Its long, narrow blade gives you room for a smooth drawing cut, with a single-bevel edge made for right-handed use.

Made in Japan, the knife pairs a molybdenum-vanadium stainless-steel blade with an octagonal laminated-wood handle. A nylon collar joins the dark handle to the blade, keeping the grip and blade junction easy to distinguish.

Use the long edge to draw through a boneless portion in a controlled stroke. The companion deba models handle earlier fish-preparation tasks, while this slender knife is for slicing.

The yanagiba profile is long and narrow, allowing a drawing stroke through boneless fish. Leave enough space on the board for the full blade to travel, and use the pointed tip for careful finishing cuts.

The single-layer blade uses molybdenum-vanadium stainless cutlery steel. Kai finishes the edge with a wet sharpening process, using a fine abrasive while limiting heat at the edge.

The laminated reinforced-wood handle has eight flat faces and a dark finish. Its nylon collar meets the blade at the front of the grip. The handle needs prompt drying after cleaning, just as the blade does.

Care for a single-bevel knife

Hand wash after use, rinse and dry the blade and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden handle or leaving food and moisture on the steel. Store with the edge protected; sharpen with a method suitable for a single-bevel knife.

This is a specialist right-handed knife. Keep its single-bevel shape in mind when selecting sharpening equipment, and use a protected storage position that keeps the cutting edge away from other utensils.
