A yanagiba slices sashimi in one long pull from heel to tip rather than a sawing action, which is what leaves the cut face clean and glossy instead of torn. The blade is single bevel and ground for the right hand, narrow through its length and thin behind the edge.
Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel, so it resists corrosion through a wet section and comes back quickly on a stone. Traditional Japanese magnolia handle with a buffalo horn ferrule at the join, in the octagonal shape that lets you index the blade angle by feel.
