The 270mm is great for home cooks liking long blades or those frequently confronted with whole sides or salmon or massive turkey’s to feed over 8 people. It is the most popular length amongst professional chefs who find that Japanese knives can afford to be a little longer than European alternatives because their innate lightness and evenness of feel makes the extra length useful rather than cumbersome.

Needless to say the 270mm Suradai yanagiba will fulfil all the functions mentioned above for smaller versions as well as myriad other functions, including large fish, big joints and more challenging pieces of poultry, game and ham.
