Blade Hardness

HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is tempered. A higher rating holds a fine edge through extended use, a hallmark of Japanese blade craftsmanship.

Stain Resistant

This steel is not stain resistant. High-carbon steel can rust or develop a patina if not kept dry and cared for, in exchange for the sharper edge it holds.

Saya Cover

This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

This knife features a traditional handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, expertly affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip for precise cutting.

Included with your purchase is a rare artisan-crafted Saya, a protective wooden sheath made from premium Ebony wood. This not only safeguards your knife when not in use but also enhances its elegant appearance, making it a striking addition to your kitchen.

The Yanagi Kiritsuke is an essential Japanese slicing knife, designed specifically for creating paper-thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. Its elegant, thin blade glides effortlessly through ingredients, preserving their integrity and freshness in long, uninterrupted strokes. This versatile knife is a powerful tool in the repertoire of any chef, perfect for both professional kitchens and home cooking.

With a slightly heavier construction, the Yanagi Kiritsuke features a wider blade and thicker spine for enhanced stability. The sword tip design balances the weight of the knife, making it ideal for chefs who desire the precision of a Yanagi in a more compact form, especially in smaller workspaces.
