Handle Design: Each knife is fitted with a stabilized traditional wood grain handle (local maple or walnut) at no additional cost. Carefully selected hardwood is stabilized through a resin infusion process that reinforces the wood at a structural level. This treatment greatly improves resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and the rigours of daily kitchen use while preserving the natural beauty of the grain.

Custom Colour Options: Handles can be finished in colours drawn from our curated Signature Palette of tones that are infused deep into the wood during the stabilization process, while allowing the natural grain to remain beautifully visible beneath the surface.
Signature Palette Selections: Blue • Green • Purple • Pink • Teal • Orange • Red

Handle and Ferrule Colour: $55
Handle Colour Only: $50
Ferrule Colour Only: $15

The Yanagiba's long, slender blade is designed for smooth, single strokes, allowing you to glide cleanly through delicate fish without tearing or crushing the flesh. The result is beautifully clean cuts that preserve texture, flavour, and presentation.

With its full grind razor-sharp edge and balanced feel, the Yanagiba offers incredible control for fine slicing and plating. While famous for sushi and sashimi, it’s also excellent for carving cooked proteins and creating thin, precise slices.

Crafted just for you, or as a meaningful gift. Please allow 2–6 weeks for production.
