Yoshihiro Blue Steel Suminagashi Yanagi knives are crafted with extraordinary skill by our master artisans, showcasing the most intricate techniques of forging, layering, and hammering. Made from Aoko Blue Steel #1, with a hardness rating of 64 HRC on the Rockwell scale, these knives feature the most elaborate and beautiful finishes, combining exceptional performance with aesthetic elegance.

Our Yoshihiro Blue Steel #1 Suminagashi knives are complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added strength and balance. A protective lacquered wooden Saya is included, which not only protects the blade but also enhances the knife's appearance when not in use.

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife specifically designed for slicing thin pieces of fish for sushi and sashimi. The beauty of the Yanagi lies in its elegantly thin blade, which allows for long, uninterrupted strokes that preserve the freshness and integrity of the fish. As one of the most essential traditional Japanese knives, the Yanagi is an indispensable tool for chefs who want to achieve the perfect cut. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Important: The knife can oxidize without proper care, and it is recommended for professional use only.
