Professional Japanese Yanagiba Sashimi Knife with Aogami Blue Paper #2 Steel Core and 270mm Single Bevel Blade
This Yanagiba sushi knife features premium imported Japanese Aogami Blue Paper #2 steel as the inner core, wrapped with high-grade outer carbon steel via traditional cladding forging.
Rated at 62±2 HRC hardness, Aogami Blue #2 steel is famous for outstanding abrasion resistance and rigid blade structure. Compared with ordinary stainless steel kitchen knives, it maintains sharpness far longer during heavy-duty daily kitchen use.
Every blade is manually ground and gradually thinned by seasoned craftsmen. The fine polished cutting edge leaves no visible grinding lines, creating ultra-low cutting resistance. The precise single-bevel design allows clean, tear-free slicing for raw fish, preserving the tender original texture of sashimi and seafood.
Designed with classic Japanese octagonal handle shape, fitted with natural hackberry wood and solid black ox horn ferrule.
- Anti-slip octagonal grip ensures stable holding during long-hour repetitive cutting
- Optimized weight balance reduces wrist fatigue, perfect for all-day commercial kitchen work
- Natural wood material brings gentle hand feeling and effectively relieves long-term operating pressure
- Retro minimalist look perfectly matches Japanese culinary style, ideal for restaurant display and daily use
Every Kirin Hamono Yanagiba knife is born from dozens of meticulous hand-forging stages. From precision heat treatment to multi-stage polishing, we strictly control every detail. The blade spine is smoothly contoured for a comfortable grip, while the progressive thinning geometry reduces drag for effortless slicing of fish, meat, and vegetables. Each knife undergoes a final rigorous inspection before shipment to ensure uncompromised performance.
