Shun VG0240Y Pro 9-1/2-Inch Yanagiba Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a gift for my husband's birthday.I purchased five knives he could use when making sushi with the intent of giving him the option to choose which knife he wanted.We have an extensive collection of other knives, yet this is our first knife with the intent of making sushi.

He had been looking at the KyoceraKyotop Damascus Pakka Handle 8.25, which was one of the options and the one I thought he would go with.Yet, he went with the Shun Pro 9-1/2-Inch Yanagiba Knife because of the way it felt (weight was good), great blade length, and it does a great job cutting fish.The blade is thinner than the Kyocera.The Shun Pro 11-3/4 was too heavy.The Shun 9-1/2 is at a lower price point than both, yet he didn't know this so it was not a deciding factor for him.

Cutting the fish and veggies is easy.Making the sushi rice... not so much!:)Yet, we are still in the learning/experimenting phase.:)

Product Description:
Shun Pro is kitchen cutlery for the ultimate knife connoisseur.It features the design preferred by professional Japanese chefs -a one sided, beveled edge with a hollow-ground back.The single bevel design design means an incredibly sharp edge that's easy to maintain.Further, the hollow-ground back creates an air pocket, between the blade and the food being cut.The result is less sticking to the blade and less friction damage to the food.
