The Yoshihiro Honyaki Aoko Mirror-Finished Yanagi Knife is crafted to embody the pinnacle of Japanese knife-making tradition, using the rare Ao Honyaki forging process. Translating to "true forged," Honyaki is a meticulous technique involving pure water quenching, which transforms refined Blue Steel #2 into a blade of remarkable hardness (HRC 65) and resilience. Heated to thousands of degrees, each knife is quenched to achieve unmatched durability and honed to an exquisite mirror finish, with a visible hamon, or temper line, that shimmers along the blade’s edge as a mark of its craftsmanship and purity.

Designed for sushi and sashimi preparation, the Yanagi excels in creating long, precise strokes that maintain the ingredient's freshness and integrity. This long slicing knife’s elegance lies in its ability to glide through delicate proteins in a single, fluid motion, preserving the essential texture and flavor. This knife is not only a functional tool but also a work of art, essential for chefs seeking to achieve impeccable presentation in their cuisine.

The Yoshihiro Honyaki Aoko Yanagi comes with a traditional, handcrafted Ebony wood handle, enhanced by a Triple Nickel Silver Ring and Water Buffalo horn bolster for a balanced, comfortable grip. A wooden Saya cover protects the blade, adding to the knife’s visual appeal and ensuring safe storage. This Honyaki Yanagi knife represents the highest level of artistry, combining tradition, functionality, and elegance for the discerning chef.
