Frequently Asked Questions

What is a yanagiba knife used for?

The yanagiba knife is a traditional Japanese knife designed for precision slicing of fish, seafood, and meat. The long, narrow blade allows for a clean cut in a single, smooth motion without disrupting the structure of the food. It is primarily used in the preparation of sashimi and sushi, where the cleanliness of the cut is of paramount importance.

What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided sharpening?

With a single-sided grind, the bevel is on only one side of the blade—in this case, the right side. This is characteristic of traditional Japanese knives and allows for an exceptionally precise and clean cut. Double-sided sharpening is symmetrical and is more common in European knives. The FC-575 knife features single-sided sharpening, making it suitable primarily for right-handed users.

What is the hardness of the steel in the FC-575, and why is it important?

The FC-575 knife has a hardness of 57–58 on the HRC scale. The higher hardness means that the blade retains its sharpness longer and is more resistant to wear. At the same time, the steel remains durable enough for everyday kitchen use. The #5000 finish ensures an exceptionally fine and sharp cutting edge.

What material is the handle made of, and why was magnolia chosen?

The handle of the FC-575 is made of magnolia—a traditional material for Japanese kitchen knives. Magnolia is lightweight, has a pleasant texture, and provides a secure grip. It has been used for centuries precisely because of its durability and comfort during use. The wood also lends the knife a distinctive aesthetic typical of Japanese knives.

How do I properly maintain the FC-575 knife?

The knife should only be washed by hand—never in the dishwasher. Cut only on a plastic or wooden cutting board. Avoid bamboo, glass, and porcelain surfaces, as they damage the blade. Do not apply lateral pressure or twist the knife. Sharpen regularly to maintain a sharp edge—it’s easier to maintain a knife that’s already sharp than to sharpen one that’s heavily dulled.

Is the FC-575 suitable for home use, or is it only for professionals?

The FC-575 knife can be used by both professional chefs and home cooks. The Tojiro brand offers knives designed for both groups of users. The only important thing is to follow the recommendations for proper use and maintenance to ensure the blade retains its quality for a long time.
