Minato Yanagiba Sashimi Knife

One pull, one face. The Yanagiba's long single-bevel edge draws through fish in a single stroke, leaving a glassy cut that holds its color. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.

Features

• The traditional single-bevel grind lets each slice fall away whole, edges intact.
• Its length finishes a cut in one smooth draw, with no back-and-forth.
• A narrow blade keeps drag off delicate fish.
• The core steel is VG-10, heat-treated until the Rockwell tester reads 60 ±2, which keeps sharpening sessions rare.
• The 67 Damascus layers surface as a flowing grain that no two blades repeat.
• Call it 6.5 oz of working weight: present in the hand, never tiring.

Burl and resin split by a band of turquoise, an octagonal wa grip with a harbor-water glint.
