Masamoto Silver #3 Yanagi with white buffalo horn ferrule

Handle: Magnolia wood handle with white buffalo horn ferrule

This product comes with a Magnolia wood Saya.

The name "Yanagiba" is derived from the shape of the blade resembling willow leaves, also known as the "Sashimi knife" or "Sushi knife."

Craftsmen use the length of the blade to skillfully slice down pieces of fish in one stroke. If the blade is moved back and forth during cutting, the texture of sashimi tends to collapse, and the delightful mouthfeel is lost, resulting in a dull appearance of the fish slices.

Silver 3 steel excels in hardness, sharpness, and rust resistance, boasting an HRC of around 60-62. Its enduring sharpness places it among the sharpest in the stainless steel family.

The rust-resistant Silver #3 steel boasts excellent cutting performance, long-lasting sharpness, and ease of sharpening.
