Crafted from SG2 Semi-Stainless Steel, this knife is forged at exceptionally high temperatures, resulting in a robust composition that is not only durable but also capable of maintaining its superior edge for an extended period. With a hardness rating on the Rockwell scale of 64-65, it maximizes cutting performance and edge retention, making it an ideal choice for professionals engaged in high-volume prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife features a traditional Japanese Ebony handle, providing a comfortable grip and a touch of elegance, and it comes with a protective wooden sheath known as a Saya. This Saya is carefully brush-coated with a non-toxic lacquer that enhances durability, offering resistance to odors, stains, and chips, ensuring that your knife remains in pristine condition when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for slicing thin pieces of fish for sushi and sashimi, the Yanagi Kiritsuke is one of the most essential tools in a chef's arsenal. Its slender blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of the ingredients. While traditional Japanese powder steel knives may not be entirely stain-resistant, proper care can extend their lifespan significantly. Keeping the knife dry before storage is crucial for maintaining its condition. For optimal performance, Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones, ensuring they remain sharp and ready for any culinary task.\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 64-65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e SG-2\/R-2 Mirror Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e SG-2\/R-2 Stainless Steel\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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTriple Ring Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\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 Lacquered Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"10.5\" (270mm)","offer_id":45946797588710,"sku":"SGYKMI270TRNR","price":849.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":45946797621478,"sku":"SGYKMI300TRNR","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" (330mm)","offer_id":45946798473446,"sku":"SGYKMI330TRNR","price":949.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/SGYKMITRNR_PT01.jpg?v=1753475481","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-sg-2-r-2-semi-stainless-steel-mirror-polished-yanagi-kiritsuke-sashimi-knife-triple-ring-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
