Knife-sheath - Japan - 1990-2000

These two vintage Japanese yanagiba knives form an elegant and authentic duo from the traditional Japanese art of cutting. They are designed for ultimate precision and have been used for generations to slice fish and sashimi with long, flowing motions.

With a total length of approximately 33 cm and 31 cm, these knives offer an excellent balance between control and reach. The slim, single-bevel blades glide effortlessly through the material and ensure a clean cut without damaging the delicate tissue. Ideal for fine slicing where perfection counts.

Both knives are sharp and in fair vintage condition. The steel shows a beautiful, natural patina that speaks to age and quality, without compromising functionality. The stamped Japanese characters on the blades emphasize their artisanal origin and make each knife unique.

The traditional wooden handles feel comfortable in the hand and give the knives their warm, classic appearance. They are comfortable to use and fit perfectly with the understated aesthetics of Japanese kitchen tools.

These yanagiba knives are especially suitable for professional chefs, serious home cooks, or collectors who are looking for authentic Japanese knives with character. Not modern mass production, but real tools with a story and a soul.

A wonderful opportunity to add two timeless Japanese classics to your kitchen or collection.
