Yoshihiro Mizu Honyaki White Steel #2 Mirror-Polished Namiukashi Kiritsuke Knife Ebony wood Handle & Ebony Saya

Introducing our Yoshihiro Honyaki Knives, a stunning embodiment of the traditional art of Japanese sword-making. The term Honyaki translates to "true forged," signifying the highest level of craftsmanship in knife production. Our master artisans meticulously handcraft each knife using ancient techniques passed down through generations, ensuring that every blade is a masterpiece of unparalleled quality.

Crafted from a single piece of White Steel #2, these knives boast an impressive Rockwell hardness of 64 to 65, achieved by subjecting the steel to extreme temperatures in traditional furnaces. This process requires extraordinary skill, as the blade is carefully heated, quenched in cool water for maximum hardness, and polished to a brilliant mirror finish. The result is a knife that seamlessly blends aesthetics with performance, making it a vital tool for any culinary expert.

The Kiritsuke knife, a versatile all-purpose chef's knife, resembles a sword in both form and function. Its length allows for precision cuts of sushi and sashimi, akin to the Yanagi, while the wide blade provides the dexterity needed for various kitchen tasks. The sword tip balances the knife's weight, making it ideal for intricate and precise work, allowing chefs to elevate even the simplest tasks into culinary artistry.

Each Yoshihiro Honyaki knife is handcrafted with extraordinary skill, reflecting the dedication and expertise of artisans with over 50 years of experience. When you choose a Honyaki knife, you are not just selecting a tool; you are embracing a piece of history and tradition that enhances your culinary experience. Perfect for both professional chefs and home cooks, this knife is as beautiful as it is functional, making it a true investment for your kitchen.
