This exquisite Yanagi Kiritsuke knife is a work of art, crafted out of the highest-grade Blue steel #2, Kasumi finish, and an Ebony handle that provides an ideal balance between beauty and ergonomics. Its sleek, elegant lines will look exquisite in your kitchen, and its superior sharpness and strength will provide reliable performance for any task.

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife that was designed to slice thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The beauty of its elegant thin blade is its ability to slice through an ingredient in long uninterrupted strokes, preserving its integrity and freshness. The Yanagi Kiritsuke is slightly heavier with a blade that is wider and a spine that is thicker. The sword tip helps balance the weight of the knife and is recommended for chefs who are interested in a Yanagi but have a smaller working space. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
