Using a single piece of White Steel #2 with a Rockwell hardness of 65, the steel is heated in hearths to scorching temperatures, quenched in cool water for hardness, and then meticulously polished to a brilliant mirror finish. The result is a blade that combines exceptional sharpness, strength, and a stunning aesthetic, blending performance and beauty seamlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are complemented with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, providing both elegance and functionality.

Unlike other knives that may damage cell walls and alter texture, the traditional Yanagi leaves fish smooth, shiny, and fresh. This knife is a hongasumi variety, representing a higher quality of kasumi knife, which is forged by layering softer steel over a hard steel core. The hard AUS-8 core provides superior sharpness and edge retention, while the softer surrounding steel enhances durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Japan using traditional techniques, the Yoshihiro S-Inox Yanagi features a completely flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground back (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi). The hardness of the S-Inox stainless steel allows skilled artisans to create a thin, sharp cutting edge, ideal for precision slicing. Its lightweight and well-balanced design is complemented by a handmade rosewood round-shaped handle, ensuring comfort during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the knife is a lacquered magnolia wood saya cover, which is easy to clean and resistant to stains and odors. The Yanagi is a long slicing knife, perfect for producing ultra-thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The elegance of its thin blade lies in its ability to cut through ingredients in long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving their integrity and freshness. As one of the most essential traditional Japanese knives, the Yanagi is a powerful tool in the culinary repertoire of many chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUS-8 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e D-Shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuri Lacquered Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"9.5\" (240mm)","offer_id":37099013308603,"sku":"INYA240SH","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":37099013275835,"sku":"INYA270SH","price":289.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099013243067,"sku":"INYA300SH","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/6f9a3a6e-inyash270nr_main.jpg?v=1753477085"},{"product_id":"yoshihiro-ginsan-mirror-polished-stain-resistant-kama-usuba-traditional-japanese-vegetable-chopping-chef-knife-ebony-handle-with-silver-ring","title":"Yoshihiro  Ginsan Mirror Polished Stain Resistant Kama Usuba Traditional Japanese Vegetable Chopping Chef Knife Ebony Handle with Silver Ring","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n        #specs {\n            padding: 15px;\n            border-radius: 10px;\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n            margin-bottom: 20px;\n            max-width: 800px;\n            margin: auto;\n        }\n\n        #specs h2 {\n            text-align: center;\n            margin-bottom: 10px;\n            font-size: 1.5em;\n            font-weight: normal;\n            letter-spacing: 0.05em;\n            text-transform: uppercase;\n        }\n\n        ul {\n            list-style-type: none;\n            padding: 0;\n            margin: 0;\n        }\n\n        li {\n            display: flex;\n            align-items: center;\n            font-size: 1em;\n            padding: 6px;\n            margin-bottom: 2px;\n            word-wrap: break-word;\n        }\n\n        #specs strong {\n            flex: 0 0 auto;\n            min-width: 120px;\n            \/* Set a minimum width *\/\n            margin-right: 10px;\n            \/* Added right margin for extra horizontal spacing *\/\n        }\n\n        #specs span {\n            flex: 1;\n            \/* Ensure span takes up remaining space *\/\n        }\n\n        \/* Hover effect on li items within ul *\/\n\n        #specs ul li:hover {\n            background-color: rgba(0, 123, 255, 0.1);\n            transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\n        }\n\n        \/* Mobile adjustments *\/\n\n        @media (max-width: 768px) {\n            #specs {\n                padding: 10px;\n            }\n            #specs h2 {\n                font-size: 1.3em;\n            }\n            li {\n                font-size: 0.9em;\n                padding: 4px;\n            }\n            #specs strong {\n                min-width: 100px;\n                \/* Adjusted for smaller screens *\/\n                font-size: 0.9em;\n                \/* Reduced strong font size *\/\n                margin-right: 8px;\n                \/* Reduced right margin for mobile *\/\n            }\n        }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGinsan blends traditional methods of knife-making with modern metallurgy, representing a breakthrough in the incorporation of high carbon steel and stain-resistant metallic elements.

Its single-edged blade and robust construction ensure that it effortlessly cuts through the flesh and meat of fish, making it an essential tool in any kitchen.

This unique construction not only enhances sharpness but also provides exceptional durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Japan using traditional techniques, this knife features a completely flat ground on the front (shinogi) and a concave ground (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi) on the back. The hard, high carbon Blue Steel #2 allows artisans to create a thin, sharp cutting edge, ensuring that every slice is precise. Complementing the blade is a traditional Japanese octagonal handle made from Ebony Wood, offering a comfortable grip for extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper care is essential to maintain the knife's performance.

However, this Yoshihiro knife stands apart with a Kurouchi finish on Stainless Cladding, a modern innovation in metallurgy that is both rare and difficult to forge. This cutting-edge fusion marries the beauty of the Black-Forged Kurouchi look with the practicality of stainless steel, providing the rugged aesthetic of a traditional Kurouchi knife but without the upkeep of high-carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term Kurouchi means \"Black-Forged\" and refers to the unpolished, rustic aesthetic that defines this style of blade. In this unique knife, the stainless cladding wraps the blade in two layers of protection, offering enhanced durability and corrosion resistance while still maintaining its sharp cutting edge. With the inner core of Blue Steel #2, which boasts a Rockwell hardness of 62-63, this knife delivers superb edge retention and sharpness, allowing it to maintain peak performance through extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the Kurouchi Stainless Cladding and the Blue Steel core provides a perfect balance between durability and sharpness. The stainless steel helps protect the blade from moisture and reduces the risk of rust, while the exposed Blue Steel edge offers superior sharpness and precision that professionals demand. It's a knife that blends the best of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife is completed with a handcrafted Octagonal Ebony handle, designed for comfort and balance, making it ideal for both left- and right-handed users. A Magnetic Oak wood Saya cover is included for safe storage, ensuring your knife remains in peak condition when not in use. From slicing vegetables to carving meats, this handcrafted knife elevates even the simplest tasks with its elegance and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance Note: While the stainless cladding provides excellent protection against rust, the exposed Blue Steel edge requires regular care.
