Description from the seller
This professional Yanagiba knife is a beautiful example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The long, slender blade is specially designed for exceptionally precise cuts and is especially valued for slicing fish and sushi. The elegant form and perfect balance make this knife a pleasure to work with.
The knife is sharp and ready for immediate use. The blade shows a beautiful, genuine patina and a finely visible hamon, the result of differential hardening. This hamon not only adds a refined aesthetic to the knife, but also serves as a mark of traditional forging technique and functional quality.
The subtle Japanese inscriptions on the steel underscore the authentic character and the professional provenance. The long edge enables smooth, controlled cutting motions, as required in classical Japanese knife work.
The wooden handle sits comfortably in the hand and has a natural, well-worn appearance. This provides a good grip and contributes to the warm, artisanal look of the knife.
With a total length of 41 cm, this Yanagiba knife is ideal for long, clean cuts.
An excellent choice for the serious hobby cook, professional, or collector of Japanese cutting tools who knows how to appreciate quality, tradition, and character.
