Japanese Yanagiba Knife HS Series 270mm Masamoto shohonten 正本 総本店 Honyaki 純日本鋼

This is a distinguished Masamoto Shohonten 270mm Yanagiba knife, representing the pinnacle of traditional Japanese cutlery craftsmanship. Forged in the revered Honyaki style from a single piece of pure Japanese steel, this blade is the embodiment of dedication and skill. The Honyaki process, which involves differentially tempering a non-laminated steel blank, results in an exceptionally hard, razor-sharp edge that holds its bite superbly


The 270mm Yanagiba is the quintessential knife for slicing flawless sashimi and sushi, its long, single-bevel blade designed to glide through delicate fish in one smooth, clean stroke, preserving texture and enhancing presentation. It is traditionally fitted with a "White Horn" ferrule and a durable Ho wood (Magnolia) handle, offering a secure and comfortable grip rooted in Japanese tradition. The knife is accompanied by a matching Ho wood saya (sheath), providing secure and breathable protection.
