For ultra-thin, ultra-precise sashimi slicing, the Gladiator Series 10.5 Yanagiba is a Japanese-style sushi expert forged of high-carbon German steel. The Yanagiba is a thick, heavy, single-bevel slicing master traditionally used in Japanese cuisine to prepare raw fish. The 10.5 blade is perfectly suited for cutting through flesh in a single stroke without pulling or tearing in order to maximize flavour and taste while the 3.5mm blade gently pushes meat away from the blade.
