Single Bevel Blades

Single-bevel Japanese knives are specialized knives with a bevel on only one side, commonly used in traditional Japanese cuisine. These knives offer an exceptionally sharp edge, allowing for precise and clean cuts, ideal for thin slicing tasks like sashimi. They are specifically designed for right- or left-handed use. Knives like the Yanagiba, Deba, and Usuba are typically single-bevel. They require some skill to use, but when used correctly, they yield excellent results.
