Introducing the Yoshihiro Honyaki Yanagi Knife, an exquisite creation featuring a stunning Mt. Fuji with a Crescent Moon hamon designed by one of the finest Yoshihiro knife masters in Sakai, Japan. The hamon, which showcases a unique pattern of waves on the blade, is meticulously crafted to represent the iconic silhouette of Mt. Fuji beneath a crescent moon. This knife is not merely a tool; it is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, skillfully made by Master Ikeda.

Handmade using traditional methods of Japanese sword making, our Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are forged from White Steel #2, renowned for its exceptional performance. With a Rockwell hardness of 65, each knife is heated in furnaces that reach thousands of degrees and then quenched in cool water, resulting in unparalleled durability and sharpness. The Honyaki process embodies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, blending beauty with function.

Complementing the remarkable blade is a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, elegantly affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster and Silver Ring. A protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, is included to safeguard the knife and enhance its aesthetic appeal when not in use.

The Yanagi knife is specifically designed for slicing ultra-thin pieces of fish for sushi and sashimi, making it an essential tool in the kitchen of any serious chef. With a wider blade and a thicker spine than traditional Yanagi knives, this design provides a slightly heavier feel, offering balance and control for those who prefer a more substantial knife. Elevate your culinary experience with the Yoshihiro Honyaki Yanagi Knife, where artistry meets exceptional performance.
