Knife question for sushi chefs


The Wusthof sushi knife is beveled only on the right side. Unlike with other foods, as a right-handed sushi chef, I cut to the left, with my left hand holding the fish to the blade as I cut.
That said, does anyone else find this bevel odd?

  1. It’s modeled after a Yanagiba knife, which is one of the most common sushi/sashimi knives in Japan. they’re almost always single bevel, along with most traditional Japanese knives. It takes some practice to use, but once you get the hang of it, it does its job very well and sharpens to a very keen edge.

  3. Technically it’s not unusable for you. But its going to be awkward until you get used to it. But it is designed for righty. I would honestly be surprised they didn’t have a lefty option, any place you shop for japanese knives online has it there.
