Yanagiba/Shobu

For Slicing Sashimi

It is called yanagiba in the Kanto district and shobu in the Kansai district. A short while ago, this type of knife was considered a Kansai-style sashimi knife, but today it is used to slice sashimi even in Kanto. It is called shobu since its shape looks like an iris (which is called shobu in Japanese).
