This is yanagi knife is a masterpiece of Japanese blade smithing, meticulously crafted for preparing sashimi and sushi fillings from boneless fish fillets. Its slender, graceful shape allows for elegant, precise cuts in one fluid drawing motion – a true embodiment of culinary artistry by Kenji Togashi. Originating from the Kansai region’s traditional Kiritsuke yanagi style.
Forged from premium carbon white steel 1, the blade possesses a stunning hongasumi hazy finish that speaks of its heritage and expert craftsmanship. Yet, this beauty requires special care to prevent rust and discoloration from moisture and acidic foods. The yanagi’s single-beveled edge is complemented by an ebony octagonal handle accented with white buffalo horn, providing a sophisticated grip that ensures precision and control.
An ebony pattern lacquered Saya protects the razor-sharp blade when not in use, preserving its incredible hardness of : 62±1 on the Rockwell C scale with edge retention. Whether slicing delicate sashimi or expertly garnishing nigiri, the yanagi elevates the art of Japanese culinary knife craft to sublime levels through its peerless performance and timeless aesthetic. Togashi’s mastery is evident in every aspect of this knife, a true testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese blade smithing and a must-have for any sushi connoisseur or culinary enthusiast.
