The yanagiba knives are very typical Japanese, so when you have a Wusthof yanagiba knife, you can enjoy the perfect combination of German quality and Japanese tradition in the world of cutlery.

Besides being a top-quality knife, one of the best parts of purchasing this knife is that it comes with a blade guard to protect your knife’s blade from getting damaged.

– Triple-riveted, black handle made of polyoxymethylene (POM), which is a high-quality synthetic material.

– The handle has a Western grip that allows you to have firm, comfortable hold of the knife. The design of this knife’s handle is suitable for both left and right-handed users.
