Stacked Product Description and Specs

Ao Namiuchi, meaning Blue Wave Forged, perfectly captures the essence of our Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi Blue Steel knives. The striking wave-like patterns on the blade reflect exceptional craftsmanship, resulting from forging Aoko Blue Steel #1 with iron. This high-quality high-carbon steel delivers a Yanagi knife that combines outstanding performance with exquisite beauty.

Each knife in our Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi collection showcases the extraordinary skill of our master artisans, with a remarkable Rockwell hardness of 64. The term Namiuchi highlights the artistry that merges aesthetics with the finest materials.

The Aonamiuchi Blue Steel #1 Yanagi features a traditional handcrafted Shitan Ebony handle with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, ensuring a comfortable grip and enhancing its sophisticated design. A protective lacquered wooden sheath, or Saya, is included, maintaining the knife’s pristine condition and visual appeal.

Designed for slicing delicate fish for sushi and sashimi, the Yanagi boasts a long, thin blade that allows for smooth, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of your ingredients.
