A masterpiece of refined craftsmanship and beauty (Made to Order)

The Yanagiba knife, one of the most iconic Japanese culinary blades, is designed to slice sashimi with elegance and precision. Its long, slender blade allows the chef to make smooth, single strokes that preserve the integrity of the fish’s fibers, ensuring a clean, glossy cut that retains freshness and umami.

This knife is crafted from Shirogami #1 steel (White #1) and meticulously finished using the mizuyaki honyaki technique. Yoshikazu Ikeda’s craftsmanship imbues this blade with both artistry and functionality, making it ideal not only for professional chefs but also for discerning collectors.

The handle is made from luxurious materials such as ebony and quince, enhanced with silver fittings and mekugi pins, reminiscent of the dignified presence of a Japanese sword. This combination of refined beauty and practical usability makes the knife a treasure to own and use.
