Its unique blade is crafted to filet from the back to the front, allowing for a clean, precise cut. This knife also features a short beveled handle that fits securely in the palm of the hand, ensuring a firm grip even in slippery conditions, making it a highly efficient tool for delicate tasks like eeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged from High Carbon Blue Steel #2 with a Rockwell hardness of 63-64, this Hongasumi Edosaki knife offers superior edge retention and the ability to take on a finer edge compared to the traditional Kasumi Edosaki made from White Steel #2. The combination of Blue Steel and iron creates beautiful mist patterns on the blade, a hallmark of the Hongasumi style. This meticulous forging and polishing process ensures that every Yoshihiro Hongasumi knife is not only an exceptional performer but also a visually stunning piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted with extraordinary skill by master artisans, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Edosaki knife is complemented with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Magnolia wood (Octagon-Shaped) handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added durability and aesthetic appeal. The knife also includes a protective wooden Saya sheath, which safeguards the blade when not in use and adds to the overall elegance of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edosaki knife excels in delicately filleting eel, helping to bring out the rich, sumptuous flavors that make eel dishes so exquisite. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional, a true testament to the craftsmanship and performance that define Yoshihiro knives.\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 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hongasumi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Steel #2\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 Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":37098988077243,"sku":"HKES180MH","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-high-carbon-blue-steel-2-edosaki-eel-filet-knife-main.jpg?v=1753477863","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-blue-steel-edosaki-eel-filet-knife","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
