The Hendi 24 cm Japanese Sashimi Knife is the perfect tool for sushi and sashimi enthusiasts, ideal for obtaining thin and almost transparent slices of fresh fish with minimal cellular damage. With its long and thin blade, this knife is designed to slice fish fillets for sashimi and sushi in a single, precise movement. It is also excellent for peeling and filleting small and medium-sized fish.
The blade is sharpened on one side for clean and delicate cuts, avoiding crushing or breaking the fish, making it the ideal tool for preparations that require a delicate touch. The traditional Japanese design gives elegance and functionality, with the blade made of Japanese SUS 420J2 stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance. The hardness of the blade is approximately 53 HRC, ensuring long-lasting performance over time.
The poplar wood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, making the knife easy to maneuver even during long working sessions. Crafted and produced in Japan, the Yanagiba knife is the perfect ally for the traditional preparation of sushi, part of a complete set of Japanese knives.
It is recommended not to wash it in the dishwasher to preserve the quality of the blade and ensure its durability. The Yanagi Sashimi by Hendi is an indispensable tool for those who want to get the most out of the preparation of refined Japanese dishes.

FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
