This knife excels beyond the traditional Kasumi style, offering improved performance and precision, especially for intermediate-level chefs. It arrives ready to use straight out of the box and comes with a Magnolia Lacquered wood sheath, knife oil, and a rust eraser to maintain the blade's pristine condition. This knife is 100% handcrafted in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring it is a unique, non-mass-produced piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with extraordinary skill by Yoshihiro's master artisans, the Hongasumi knives embody a fusion of beauty and performance. The White Steel #2 is forged with iron, producing beautiful mist-like patterns, while the focus on refined forging and polishing adds to the knife's elegance. The knife features a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Rosewood handle, complemented with a Shitan Rosewood bolster for added durability. The included Saya is brush-coated with non-toxic lacquer, providing resistance against stains, odors, and chips, ensuring the knife remains in excellent condition when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi Kiritsuke is designed for slicing delicate ingredients with precision, particularly for tasks like slicing fish for sushi and sashimi. Its thin, elegant blade allows for uninterrupted cutting strokes that preserve the ingredient's integrity and freshness. The Yanagi Kiritsuke is slightly heavier, with a wider blade and a thicker spine, balancing the knife's weight with the traditional sword tip. This design is particularly well-suited for chefs who desire the benefits of a Yanagi but need a more compact option for smaller workspaces. Elevating every task, this handcrafted knife is as beautiful as it is functional, making it a staple in any kitchen.\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 62-63\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hongasumi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e White 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 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 Lacquered Nuri Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":37099000627387,"sku":"HKYK270SHNR","price":319.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099000660155,"sku":"HKYK300SHNR","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":37099000692923,"sku":"HKYK330SHNR","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-white-steel-yanagi-kiritsuke-sushi-sashimi-japanese-knife-rosewood-handle-with-nuri-saya-cover-main.jpg?v=1753477485","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-white-steel-yanagi-kiritsuke-270mm-multipurpose-sushi-sashimi-japanese-knife-rosewood-handle-nuri-saya-cover","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
