Global G-11L Left-Handed Yanagiba Knife 25 cm

Description

Mastery of sashimi does not distinguish handedness, but traditional tools did — until Global developed the G-11L. This 25 cm left-handed Global yanagiba with an inverted 70/30 bevel finally lets left-handed sushi chefs perform the authentic hikizukuri cut without forced adaptations. As a result, every slice reflects the same perfection that right-handed masters achieve with centuries of tradition behind them.
Global does not simply reverse the edge: it completely recalculates the geometry to optimise the natural left-handed movement. In addition, the 205 g weight is distributed considering the reversed grip, centring the balance where the left hand needs it. The Cromova 18 steel holds 56-58 HRC regardless of the bevel. A green cutting board preserves the ultra-fine edge during intensive preparations.

Why does the left-handed Global G-11L yanagiba make the difference?

Left-handed sushi professionals value being able to perform traditional techniques while respecting the correct angles of the Japanese cut. Meanwhile, the inverted bevel lets the fish separate naturally to the correct side during the cut. In the same way, the surface of the sashimi is left perfectly smooth, an unmistakable sign of refined technique.
The 25 cm length allows complete cuts on large pieces of tuna or salmon without interruptions. Nonetheless, the moderate weight makes precise control easier on delicate fish such as butterfish or hamachi. And to maintain the left-handed bevel with precision, the pink Global MS22 5000-grit stones provide the final polish while respecting the inverted geometry.
