Our master craftsmen utilize the same time-honored methods that ancient swordsmiths have passed down through generations to create knives of unparalleled quality. The hand-forging process involves a single piece of high carbon steel, which requires extraordinary skill to endure the intense temperatures of thousands of degrees in a blazing furnace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Yoshihiro Honyaki knife is meticulously handcrafted by our master artisans, some of whom possess over 50 years of experience in this ancient craft. Honyaki knives are forged from White Steel #2, achieving a remarkable hardness of 65 on the Rockwell scale. The steel is heated in hearths that reach thousands of degrees, then quenched in cool water to enhance its hardness and performance. The result is a brilliantly polished mirror finish that showcases the knife's superior quality while blending aesthetics with functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing the blade, our Yoshihiro Honyaki knives feature a premium handcrafted Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added elegance and durability. A protective wooden sheath known as a Saya is included, safeguarding the knife and enhancing its beauty when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi is a long slicing knife specifically designed for creating thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi, making it an essential tool in the repertoire of many chefs. Its elegantly thin blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of the ingredients. The Yanagi is slightly heavier, with a wider blade and a thicker spine, providing balance and control that chefs appreciate when preparing delicate dishes. Experience the harmony of tradition and craftsmanship with our Yoshihiro Honyaki Yanagi, a true masterpiece in the world of Japanese 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 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honyaki Mirror Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\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\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Steel #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lacquered Nuri Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":38101273313467,"sku":"JHYYAMI270EHNR","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":38101273346235,"sku":"JHYYAMI300EHNR","price":969.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":38101273379003,"sku":"JHYYAMI330EHNR","price":1049.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-yanagi-ebony-handle.jpg?v=1753476632","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-yanagi-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
