  • Plenty of OK-ish knives about, probably best to state a budget?

    Breaking down fish, or mainly using for slicing fillets and rolls?

    Probably a good start, single bevel, definitely not a fancy steel or well finished , but should be sharp enough for occasional use.

  • You know you’ll get the use out of it, so go for it. Even speciality knives are a bit more versatile in my experience.

    I have one of the lower priced yanagiba from Kitchen Provisions. The exact one isn’t on the site but was ~£250. I use it for cutting any meat without bones. So yes sushi / sashimi but also carving cooked meat. Works a treat.

    The tips are very, very fine and flexible though. I’m careful with my blades but still nicked the top. Same with my deba.
