Our master craftsmen use the same time-honored techniques passed down through generations to forge knives of exceptional quality. These knives are created from a single piece of high-carbon steel, requiring extraordinary skill to endure the intense temperatures in the furnace, which can reach thousands of degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are meticulously crafted by master artisans, some with over 50 years of experience, who use traditional Japanese methods to forge knives of unmatched caliber. Honyaki knives are the epitome of craftsmanship in the world of Japanese knives, demanding a deep understanding of ancient sword-making traditions. A single piece of White Steel #2 with a hardness of 65 HRC is heated in high-temperature hearths, quenched in cool water for hardness, and polished to a brilliant mirror finish. The result is a knife that combines both exceptional performance and aesthetic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are complemented with a traditional Japanese style handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added durability and elegance. A protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, is included to safeguard the blade when not in use and enhance the knife's visual appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sakimaru Takobiki is a long slicing knife specifically designed for slicing paper-thin pieces of fish for sashimi. Its rounded sharp tip is ideal for cutting the long, delicate tentacles of octopus (Sashimi), while its thin, elegant blade glides through ingredients in long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving their integrity and freshness. Thinner than a Yanagi knife, the Takobiki is an indispensable tool for preparing delicate ingredients. Additionally, the Takobiki Sakimaru is favored for its precision when cutting sushi rolls, with its rounded tip allowing for clean and controlled slices when angled along the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the simplest tasks are elevated with this handcrafted knife, as it blends beauty and functionality, making it a valuable asset to any professional 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 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honyaki Mirror Polished\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 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\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\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":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":37099005542587,"sku":"HYSTMI270EHMS","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099005509819,"sku":"HYSTMI300EHMS","price":1049.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":38203469234363,"sku":"HYSTMI330EHMS","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-honyaki-white-steel-sakimaru-takobiki-mirror-finished-sushi-sashimi-slicing-japanese-chef-knife-ebony-handle-main.jpg?v=1753477360","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-honyaki-white-steel-sakimaru-takobiki-mirror-finished-sushi-sashimi-slicing-japanese-chef-knife","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
