The Yakushi Classic Chef Knife is an 8-inch Japanese-style kitchen knife designed for everyday chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, and portioning boneless proteins. Its curved all-purpose profile supports both gentle rocking cuts and controlled straight or draw cuts. The 192g high-carbon stainless-steel blade features a double-beveled edge, full-tang construction, and Pakka wood handle. The symmetrical double-beveled geometry makes the knife suitable for both right-handed and left-handed cooks. Use it for vegetables, fruit, herbs, aromatics, boneless meat and poultry, cooked proteins, fish fillets, and routine meal preparation. Do not use it on bones, frozen food, hard pits, or other high-impact materials. Hand-wash with mild dish soap and dry immediately. Use a wood or suitable synthetic cutting board and store the edge safely. Avoid dishwashers, glass, stone, ceramic, twisting, prying, and scraping with the cutting edge.
