K-tip Yanagiba

切付柳刃

K-tip sashimi knife Sashimi Slicing 3D Model

A K-tip yanagiba is a yanagiba, the long single-bevel sashimi knife, with an angled K-tip in place of the curved point. In Japanese it is a kiritsuke yanagiba (切付柳刃). The spine runs straight before angling down to a defined tip, so the front section of the edge is flatter than on a standard yanagiba. It is ground on one side with a concave ura on the other. Typical lengths run from 240mm to 330mm, with 270mm and 300mm common.

Like a standard yanagiba, it slices raw fish and seafood in long, clean draws. The flatter front section and the defined tip also suit fine work with the point, trimming vegetables and cutting garnishes, which is why some omakase chefs slice sashimi and then turn to garnishes with the same knife. Compared with the yanagiba, the one physical difference is the tip. Compared with the traditional kiritsuke, it is a sashimi knife first, slimmer and without the usuba-like height.

Not to be confused with the standard yanagiba, whose spine curves down to a pointed tip. On the K-tip yanagiba the spine angles down to a defined point and the front of the edge runs flatter; bevel, length and use are the same.
