SAMURA — a team of professionals who create uniquely designed, high-end knives.We started our journey in 2003. We made our first product lines with the Japanese companies MAC and Mcusta.

OKINAWA knives

This yanagiba knife is an example of external beauty combining outstanding functional characteristics and performance. It is forged from corrosion-resistant, super hard AUS-8 Japan steel.

The blade is single-edged and 9.4 inches long, allowing you to handle your daily tasks with ease and comfort. Ideal weight balancing owing to the geometry of the tool is another competitive advantage, which is so unique for long knives.

Despite the fact that, traditionally, yanagiba is known as a chef’s sushi and sashimi knife, it also can be used for Western and European dishes. You can use this knife for cutting and slicing raw fish and seafood, vegetables, steaks, pork tenderloins and tender meats.

This tool is made for both the professional and home kitchen, so it will be a great addition to the collection of a cooking enthusiast or a fan of Japanese cuisine.

The pleasurable handle material along with its classical silhouette allow the knife to tuck perfectly into the palm of your hand for confident control cut after cut.

So if you are looking for a cool gift or a reliable new tool for your kitchen collection, this OKINAWA sushi and sashimi knife is your best choice.
