DO NOT use in dishwasher or microwave. The carbon steel is not rust-resistance. Wash, wipe and dry it up well with a soft cloth immediately after each use. If rust appears, use a whetstone to remove. Do not cut or hit frozen or any hardened food with this knife; it may cause the tip to break.

Product Overview

The F909-1L pairs a long, narrow yanagi blade with a natural magnolia-wood handle and black collar. The blade combines white steel with soft iron, giving this Japanese-made knife a different material construction from an all-stainless slicing knife. This version is specified for left-handed use.

The blade measures 10-1/8 inches, with a 16-1/4-inch overall length and 3.5 mm blade thickness. Keep those measurements separate when choosing a cutting length or storage space. This carbon-steel model needs prompt washing, wiping and drying after use; it is not dishwasher-safe and should not be used on frozen or hardened food.

F909-1L Shirogami yanagi knife

A narrow yanagi profile

The long blade tapers toward a pointed tip rather than the broad front of a deba. Its extended cutting profile makes blade length a useful comparison when selecting a dedicated sashimi knife, while the heel remains clearly separated from the wooden handle.

Shirogami construction

White steel and soft iron form the blade construction.

Left-handed model

Specified for left-handed use; preserve the model distinction when choosing.

10-1/8 in blade

16-1/4 in overall length; 3.5 mm blade thickness.

White steel and soft iron

White steel and soft iron form the blade, paired with a magnolia-wood handle. The 3.5 mm thickness is a separate specification from blade length; both help distinguish this model from shorter or broader knives.

Plan care around carbon steel

Wash the knife and dry it promptly with a soft cloth after each use. Do not use a dishwasher or microwave, and avoid cutting or striking frozen or hardened food. Keep the knife’s care requirements in mind when choosing between carbon-steel and stainless-steel models.
