This finely crafted Japanese Yanagiba knife is produced by the renowned Ryūzen Tokusan in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. Made with high-quality steel, the knife offers precision and durability for professional and home chefs alike. It is a specialty tool ideal for slicing raw fish and delicate meats. While unused, there is some visible rust on the clamping part (as shown in the photos), and it is advised to sharpen the knife before use. The knife comes in its original box and is a great addition to any kitchen collection. Please note the rust condition before purchasing.
