Our master craftsmen employ the same techniques passed down through generations by ancient swordsmiths, producing knives of the highest caliber. Hand-forging these exceptional knives from a single piece of high-carbon steel requires extraordinary skill, enabling them to withstand temperatures that soar into the thousands within a blazing furnace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are crafted with remarkable expertise, forged from the finest quality steel using age-old methods that reflect the essence of Japanese craftsmanship. The term Honyaki signifies true forged, representing the pinnacle of Japanese knives. This process necessitates master knife smiths who are well-versed in traditional sword-making techniques. Crafted from a single piece of White Steel #2, each knife achieves a hardness of 65 on the Rockwell scale. The steel is meticulously heated in specialized hearths, quenched in cool water for enhanced hardness, and polished to a brilliant mirror finish, creating knives that seamlessly blend aesthetics and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing our Yoshihiro Honyaki knives is a handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, renowned for its quality, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster. Each knife also includes a protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, which not only protects the blade but also enhances its appearance when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi Kiritsuke is a long slicing knife designed to create thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi, making it an essential tool in the repertoire of many chefs. The elegance of its thin blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of the ingredients. Slightly heavier than the Yanagi, the Yanagi Kiritsuke features a wider blade and a thicker spine, which helps balance the weight of the knife. This makes it an excellent choice for chefs working in smaller spaces who still desire the functionality of a Yanagi. Elevate even the simplest tasks with a handcrafted knife that is both stunning and highly functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\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 #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 Gintsuru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":37099019829435,"sku":"HYYKMINAMI270EHGT","price":1049.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":37099019796667,"sku":"HYYKMINAMI300EHGT","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":37099019763899,"sku":"HYYKMINAMI330EHGT","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-kiritsuke-ebony-handle.jpg?v=1753476860","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizu-honyaki-white-steel-mirror-finished-namiukashi-yanagi-kiritsuke-with-premium-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
