Each handmade Yoshihiro Hongasumi knife is a testament to the extraordinary skill of our master artisans. Crafted with the utmost care, these high-quality knives showcase exceptional craftsmanship and performance. The White Steel #2, with a Rockwell hardness rating of 62-63, is skillfully forged with iron to create stunning mist patterns, highlighting refined forging and polishing techniques that demonstrate our commitment to detail.

Complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted rosewood handle, elegantly affixed with an ebony bolster for a secure and comfortable grip, this knife also includes a protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, to ensure safe storage and longevity.

The Takobiki features a long, slender blade specifically designed for slicing paper-thin pieces of fish for sashimi. Its blunt tip is ideal for effortlessly cutting through the long tentacles of octopus. Longer and thinner than a Yanagi knife, the Takobiki allows for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of each ingredient while enhancing your culinary creations.
