Experience the superior edge retention and sharpness of our Yoshihiro Mizu Yaki Hongasumi Ginsan Stain Resistant Steel Yanagi, designed to eliminate the worry of discoloration or rust. This next-generation steel is the result of recent advancements in metallurgy, engineered to excel in fast-paced, high-demand environments while avoiding the hassles of oxidation.

Ginsan represents a revolutionary fusion of traditional knife-making techniques with modern metallurgical innovations. This breakthrough steel incorporates high carbon content with stain-resistant metallic elements, achieving a hardness of 62-63 HRC. The result is a unique blend of traditional Japanese high carbon qualities with the benefits of stainless steel. The term Hongasumi translates to "true mist," alluding to the stunning, mist-like patterns formed on the blade during the forging process of Ginsan steel, crafted by our master artisans to create exceptional quality knives that provide peace of mind in busy kitchens.

Each Yanagi is complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Octagonal Shitan handle, featuring an elegant ebony bolster. To ensure protection and enhance its aesthetic appeal, the knife is accompanied by a Saya, a protective wooden sheath that keeps the blade safe when not in use.

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife specifically designed to cut thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. Its elegantly thin blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the integrity and freshness of each ingredient. As one of the most essential traditional Japanese knives, the Yanagi is a powerful tool in the repertoire of many chefs, making even the simplest tasks feel extraordinary with its perfect blend of beauty and functionality.
