Each knife is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans who employ age-old techniques passed down through generations, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from a single piece of White Steel #2, the blade boasts a remarkable Rockwell hardness of 65. The forging process involves heating the steel in furnaces that reach extreme temperatures, followed by quenching in cool water to enhance its hardness. This results in a blade that harmoniously blends beauty and functionality, finished with a stunning mirror polish that highlights the craftsmanship involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing the blade is a beautifully designed premium Ebony wood handle, expertly crafted and affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, which adds both elegance and durability to the knife. The knife is accompanied by a rare artisan-crafted Saya, a protective wooden sheath made of premium Ebony wood, designed to safeguard the blade when not in use while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi Kiritsuke is specifically designed for slicing thin pieces of fish, making it an essential tool for sushi and sashimi preparation. Its elegant, thin blade allows chefs to achieve long, uninterrupted cuts, preserving the integrity and freshness of the ingredients. Slightly heavier than standard Yanagi knives, the Yanagi Kiritsuke features a wider blade and a thicker spine, providing excellent balance and stability during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sword tip of this knife helps distribute its weight, making it particularly suitable for chefs working in smaller spaces who still desire the precision of a Yanagi knife. Even the simplest culinary tasks are elevated by the exquisite craftsmanship of this knife, which combines striking beauty with exceptional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a professional chef or a passionate home cook, the Yoshihiro Honyaki Yanagi Kiritsuke Knife is an invaluable addition to your collection, promising to enhance your culinary experience.\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 Namiukashi\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 Special Designed Ebony\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":42024296087782,"sku":"HYYAMINAMI270EHES","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":42024296120550,"sku":"HYYAMINAMI300EHES","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":42024296153318,"sku":"HYYAMINAMI330EHES","price":1549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-mirror-finished-namiukashi-white-steel-2-yanagi-sushi-sashimi-japanese-knife-ebony-handle-and-saya-MAIN.jpg?v=1753476468","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-mirror-finished-namiukashi-white-steel-2-yanagi-sushi-sashimi-japanese-knife-ebony-handle-and-saya","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
