Yoshihiro Left-handed Yellow Steel Kasumi Finish Yanagi
Description
The prestigious "Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro" from Sakai City, Osaka, presents the "Kasumi" series of knives, using Yellow Paper Steel as the core, sandwiched between iron layers and forged together.
The blade is meticulously polished with whetstones to showcase the misty Kasumi finish.
The "Kasumi" series offers a friendly price point, coupled with the craftsmanship of Yoshihiro, ensuring accurate proportions, excellent balance, and comfortable handling.
We highly recommend this practical knife series for young craftsmen or beginners. (This product is for left-handed use)
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.
Therefore, using the length of the Yanagiba to make precise cuts helps retain the freshness and moisture of the fish meat. The blade length should be at least 27cm or preferably 30cm for optimal performance.
Handle: Japanese-style Rounded Magnolia Handle with PC Ferrule
This product comes with a Magnolia wood Saya.
