Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Yanagi knives are expertly crafted from High Carbon Blue Steel #2, with a hardness of 63-64 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This Hongasumi Yanagi offers superior edge retention and the ability to take on a finer edge compared to the Kasumi Yanagi made from White Steel #2, making it an excellent choice for intermediate-level chefs. This knife comes ready to use out of the box and is 100% handcrafted in Japan. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each knife is meticulously made by skilled artisans to ensure premium quality and performance.
The Yanagi is a long slicing knife designed specifically to cut thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The elegance of its thin blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes that preserve the integrity and freshness of the fish, a feature that sets the Yanagi apart from other knives. As one of the most essential knives in traditional Japanese cuisine, the Yanagi is indispensable in the repertoire of chefs who value precision and craftsmanship. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
Our Yoshihiro Hongasumi knives are crafted with exceptional skill by our master artisans to deliver high-quality performance and craftsmanship. Blue Steel #2 is forged with iron to create beautiful mist patterns that demonstrate the refined forging and polishing techniques of our artisans. The traditional single-edged grind adds to the precision and sharpness of the blade, ensuring clean, smooth cuts every time.
Each Yoshihiro Hongasumi knife is complemented with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Shitan Rosewood handle affixed with an Ebony bolster, providing an excellent balance and grip. A protective wooden Saya is included, which not only keeps the blade safe but is also easy to clean and resistant to stains and odors.
Care Instructions: Although traditional Japanese carbon steel knives are not stainless, with proper care, they will provide years of enjoyment. Keep your knife dry between uses and apply Tsubaki Oil (included) before storage to maintain the blade's condition. For sharpening and honing, use premium quality Japanese water stones to preserve and maintain the high-quality steel.
This knife is a perfect blend of beauty and function, crafted to perform and elevate every task in the kitchen.
