Our master craftsmen employ ancient techniques, meticulously passed down through generations, to forge knives of unparalleled quality. The hand forging of these knives from a single piece of high carbon steel requires extraordinary skill, capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of thousands of degrees within a furnace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Yoshihiro Honyaki knife is handcrafted with exceptional expertise, forged from the finest steel using time-honored methods. With over 50 years of experience, our master artisans embody the essence of Honyaki, which demands the highest level of craftsmanship from seasoned knife smiths steeped in the traditional art of sword making. A single piece of White Steel #2, boasting a hardness rating of 65 on the Rockwell scale, is heated in high-temperature hearths, quenched in cool water for enhanced hardness, and finished with a brilliant mirror polish, resulting in knives that harmoniously blend aesthetics and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added elegance. Additionally, a protective wooden sheath known as a Saya is included, safeguarding the knife while enhancing its beauty when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi is a long slicing knife designed specifically for thinly slicing fish for sushi and sashimi. It is one of the most essential traditional Japanese knives and plays a vital role in the toolkit of many chefs. The beauty of its slender blade lies in its ability to glide through ingredients in long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving their integrity and freshness. The Yanagi is slightly heavier, featuring a wider blade and a thicker spine, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a heftier knife without sacrificing performance.\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 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":37858266480827,"sku":"WHYYAMI270EHNR","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37858266513595,"sku":"WHYYAMI300EHNR","price":1069.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":37858266546363,"sku":"WHYYAMI330EHNR","price":1169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-ebony-handle-MAIN.jpg?v=1753476655","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
