Each knife is meticulously handcrafted by our master artisans, many with over 50 years of experience. The term Honyaki, meaning \"true forged,\" signifies the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship, demanding the expertise of seasoned smiths well-versed in the ancient art of sword-making. Each knife is formed from a single piece of White Steel #1, achieving a remarkable Rockwell hardness of 65. The steel is heated in hearths that reach thousands of degrees, quenched in cool water for optimal hardness, and polished to a brilliant mirror finish. This meticulous process results in knives of unparalleled quality, seamlessly blending aesthetic beauty with exceptional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing the exquisite blade, our Yoshihiro Honyaki knives feature a traditional handcrafted premium ebony wood handle, known for its durability and elegance, affixed with a stunning water buffalo horn bolster. Additionally, a protective wooden sheath, called a Saya, is included to safeguard the knife while enhancing its appearance 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 for many chefs. Its elegant, slender blade allows for smooth, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of each ingredient. The Yanagi is slightly heavier, with a wider blade and a thicker spine, providing added stability. The sword tip is designed to balance the knife's weight, making it an excellent choice for chefs with limited workspace. With our handcrafted Yanagi, even the simplest tasks are transformed into culinary masterpieces, combining beauty with functionality in every slice.\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\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Steel #1\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":37099023925435,"sku":"W1HYYAMINAMI270EHMS","price":1169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099023892667,"sku":"W1HYYAMINAMI300EHMS","price":1269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":37099023859899,"sku":"W1HYYAMINAMI330EHMS","price":1399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-1-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-ebony-handle.jpg?v=1753476735","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-1-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
