This Special Limited Edition VG-10 Semi-Stainless Steel Yanagi is meticulously forged from VG-10 Semi-Stainless steel, with a hardness rating of HRC 62-63, offering the perfect blend of exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and stain resistance. Ideal for intermediate to top chefs, this knife is designed to maintain its edge for longer, making it perfect for precise and delicate slicing.

The Yoshihiro VG-10 Yanagi Sashimi Japanese Knife is specially designed for sashimi and sushi chefs, providing a single-edged blade that glides effortlessly through fish flesh, preserving the taste and texture of the fish. Unlike other knives that may damage the fish’s cell walls, this traditional Yanagi knife leaves the fish smooth, shiny, and fresh, ensuring the quality of the fish is not compromised.

Crafted by layering softer steel over a hard VG-10 Stainless steel core, this knife combines superior sharpness and edge retention with durability. The traditional design features a completely flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground back (urasuki), with a flat rim (uraoshi), creating an ideal cutting edge for sashimi preparation. The Ebony wood handle with a sterling silver ring provides a light, well-balanced feel, while the double water buffalo horn bolster adds elegance and strength.

This knife comes with a lacquered magnolia wood Saya, which is stain and odor resistant for easy cleaning. Perfectly handcrafted in Japan, the knife arrives ready to use, with no additional sharpening required. For maintenance, it is recommended to use water whetstones for honing and sharpening. Hand wash and dry only.
