About the Yanagi: The Yanagi is used to slice boneless fish fillets into sashimi and sushi. The graceful, long, and thin blade is designed to cut slices in one drawing stroke, which applies minimal pressure on the flesh of the fish to avoid stress and cell destruction.

About Korin Kasumi: Korin Shiro-ko Kasumi knives are handcrafted from a combination of white #3 carbon steel and soft iron steel. Kasumi means mist in Japanese referring to the hazy appearance of the soft iron steel in contrast to the glossy carbon edge.
