Our master craftsmen use ancient techniques handed down through generations to produce knives of the highest caliber. Each knife is hand-forged from a single piece of high carbon steel, requiring extraordinary skill and precision. Temperatures within the furnace reach into the thousands, ensuring the steel retains its strength and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged by legendary master craftsman Ikeda Tatsuo, this one-of-a-kind work of art is finished with the ancient techniques of Japanese sword polishing. Our Yoshihiro Shiroko White Steel #1 Mizu Yaki Water Quenched Honyaki Mirror-Finished Usuba Kama Gata represents the pinnacle of quality in Japanese knives. The Mizu Honyaki method involves pure water quenching, drawing out the hardness of refined steel while infusing it with the resiliency needed for consistent performance under the most demanding conditions. The single piece of White Steel #1 (HRC 66) is heated in hearths that reach extreme temperatures and quenched with the Mizu Honyaki method to ensure exceptional hardness and durability. Polished to a brilliant mirror finish, incandescent wisps of light reflect across the blade's Hamon temper line, a rare and stunning feature that signifies the craftsmanship of a master sword maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful knife is complemented by an Octagonal Ebony wood handle of the highest quality, adorned with a double bolster made of Water Buffalo horn and sterling silver. It comes with a rare, artisan-crafted Saya (protective wooden cover) made from ebony, featuring Chinagashi indentations often seen on samurai sword sheaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, similar to a small cleaver, designed with a sharp tip for intricate work. Cherished for its ability to chop through root vegetables and thinly slice delicate tomatoes, it elevates every task. Whether you're prepping greens for a salad or chopping vegetables for a main dish, the Usuba transforms simple tasks into artful culinary moments, all with a knife that is as beautiful as it is 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 66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ikeda Honyaki Mirror Polished\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 Silver Ring 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\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony Chinagashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"8.6\" (220mm)","offer_id":37098993549499,"sku":"HYUSKMMI220CHNES","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-mizuyaki-water-quenched-honyaki-mirror-finished-white-steel-1-usuba-220mm-kama-gata-with-sterling-silver-double-bolster-octagonal-ebony-handle-and-chinagashi-indented-ebony-saya-main.jpg?v=1753477728","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-mizuyaki-water-quenched-honyaki-mirror-finished-white-steel-1-usuba-220mm-kama-gata-with-sterling-silver-double-bolster-octagonal-ebony-handle-and-chinagashi-indented-ebony-saya","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
