A beginner sushi chef was looking for his best knife.
“I started to work at a sushi restaurant a few weeks ago and I’m really interested in this kind of work now.
My question is what knife should I buy or what brand I should hold for a few years, because I want to buy at once the best knife, because you know Global is good for me but for most people it hurts the hands.
Anyway I hope I’ll be given enough info to help me out.”

His problem seems not special, and we suggested him,
“Congratulations to have started working for a sushi restaurant.
If you cut raw fish for sashimi in earnest, a set of Yanagiba and Deba (and preferably Usuba for vegetable) is thought a must.

I think Global series is not bad but it is a kind of kitchen knives not for cooking in a sushi restaurant.
We recommend stainless steel series of (for example) the following brands,
because they are reasonable and rust-resistant.

If you need razor-sharp professional knives to use for a long time,
high-carbon steel series would be fine though they need daily care.
