About Sakai Kikumori Ren - Like many knife-producing regions, Sakai is facing a challenge of getting new people to work in the industry. Ren was born and created under the principle of paying young makers a larger share of the profits to help cover the cost of training new staff. They are forged by Nakagawa-san using blue #1 steel, and they have beautiful handles with turquoise accents.

About the Shape - Yanagibas are long, thin, single-bevel knives ground and sharpened on one side. Translating to “willow’s leaf,” they’re graceful and elegant like their name suggests. Yanagibas are commonly used for slicing sashimi, but can also be used for carving other meats like roast beef and prime rib.

A note about measurements: Knife edge length is shorter than stated, as Sakai knives are measured from the front of the handle to the tip. Additionally, some knives feature a small 'machi' gap between the handle and blade.
