Is It suitable for Japanese sushi knife(Yanakiba)?

I never got to use the stone I bought. When it arrived two of the corners were broken off and I just returned it. I would think it is good for your knife. It is a very very fine grain of stone, and should be used with water, not oil.

I'd think that unless you're doing major reshaping (removal of large chips) you'd be better off starting in the 1k range as your most coarse stone. You would probably be well served by searching for "waterstone" instead of "wet stone",

Yes, I use it on my Ginsu Japanese steel knives and they are sharper than ever. I love this Smith's sharpener! Best thing I've bought in a long time.

It's specifically fitted for the 8.2 inch gyutou chefs knife. I'm not sure if another knife would fit.

Thanks for your input. I know Global makes a couple of storage trays for a different series of knives but mine are part of the GSF series and I have not been able to find a storage tray for these.

yes. I would suggest, however, spending more money on a better set of knives. knives will be with you for the rest of your life if you take care of them. Ginsu knives as advertised on Amazon are a low quality knifes. so don't make my mistake!!!

Ive been cutting sushi on this board with a japanese yanagi for over a year now, the knife is stupid sharp( i have a local asian resturant sharpen it for me every other time i use it) its never splintered or gotten pieces in anything ive cut on it.

I'm sorry for not seeing this before. It does come with instructions (along with pictures) & even recipes to try, but I don't recall getting a knife with mine. I used this only a couple of times, but prefer to use a bamboo roller. This kit would be great if you need it just to make shapes of sushi, but if you just want to make sushi I would suggest a bamboo mat and some plastic wrap.

You would need a thin sharp blade---and don't forget technique! If you have a favorite sushi place watch theblade used and ask if you will. They are friendly to customer question.

Might be, the shape of the 6 inch chefs knife I see on amazon looks like a santoku to me. I recommend the bread knife, Item model number: FK-181 WH-BK It cuts breads and tomatoes like nothing else.

The blade of the shun chef knife is to thick for the saya cover. So it will not be fit for this knife.

It is hard to tell so I guess I would have to say no. It would be best to contact Rada Cutlery Company - they are in the USAI have several pieces of theirs and really like the quality of the knives plus they retain their sharp cutting edge. A friend told me about them several years ago - the knives are better than my top quality (expensive) ones

I have a wooden block of knives from the parent company of Pure Komachi, and from experience with that, while the slots will accomodate any knife, certain length knives will not fit properly into some of the slots. Also, I noticed that I have a Pure Komachi sandwich knife, which is not part of this block, and will NOT fit in any of the slots, due to the odd shape and width of the blade.

I would imagine...it's pretty sharp. I only use it for my sushi but I'm sure you can use it for other things.

Yes. However, I would purchase a wider bowl. There is not room for the rocking motion needed to properly use the Ulu knife.

Depends on the knife. A paring knife or small (6") utility/santoku yes, a bread knife, chefs knife, or slicer no. If you got two of them and mounted them parallel then almost certainly.Edit: I don't know if my knives aren't as magnetic as these other peoples' are or what, but I've got some long high-carbon steel knives that definitely wouldn't hold like that. I'd also be concerned about the blade warping if left there for a long time.

No.This knife roll is best suited for small to medium knives. If you need a sword bag look for one specifiably for martial arts gear.
