Our master craftsmen use the same traditional techniques once employed by ancient swordsmiths to create knives of exceptional quality and performance. Hand-forging a Honyaki knife from a single piece of high carbon steel demands extraordinary skill, as it must endure the extreme heat of furnaces reaching into the thousands of degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Yoshihiro Honyaki knife is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, some with over 50 years of experience, who dedicate themselves to preserving the time-honored methods of traditional Japanese sword-making. Forged from a single piece of White Steel #2 with a Rockwell hardness of 64 to 65, the blade undergoes intense heating, quenching in cool water, and is then polished to a stunning mirror finish. The result is a knife that blends unmatched aesthetics with superior performance, representing the highest level of craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edo Usuba, reminiscent of a small cleaver, features a blunt tip that is ideal for tasks like cutting the eyes from potatoes. This knife excels at chopping through sturdy root vegetables while also thinly slicing delicate produce like tomatoes. Whether prepping greens for a salad or chopping vegetables for a main dish, even the simplest tasks become extraordinary with a handcrafted knife that is both functional and beautiful.\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 64-65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mizuhonyaki Namiukashi 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\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":"7.5\"(195mm)","offer_id":44285046653158,"sku":"HYUSEDMI195EHMS","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.25\"(210mm)","offer_id":44285046685926,"sku":"HYUSEDMI210EHMS","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-high-carbon-white-steel-2-mirror-polished-namiukashi-edo-usuba-japanese-traditional-vegetable-knife-ebony-handle-1.jpg?v=1753476091","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-high-carbon-white-steel-2-mirror-polished-namiukashi-edo-usuba-japanese-traditional-vegetable-knife-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
