Product Description
By combining the artistic ability of our master artisans with the renowned blue steel of Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi, our knives are truly magnificent pieces of art. Blue Steel #1 with a hardness between 63 to 64 on the Rockwell scale is intricately forged with iron to create beautiful wave like patterns on the surface. For a knife to be so beautiful and perform such astoundingly well, it takes extremely high levels of skill. A Namiuchi piece combines aesthetics and high quality with the highest level of craftsmanship and materials.

A slight weight difference exists between the Yanagi Kiritsuke and the Yanagi. The Yanagi Kiritsuke's blade is wider and its spine Yanagi knives with sword tip balance the blade's weight and are recommended for chefs who would like to own a heftier knife but are interested in a Yanagi.
Yanagi Kiritsuke is handcrafted with traditional Japanese techniques. It is flat on its front side (Shinogi), concave on the back (Urasuki), and has a flat rim on its back (Uraoshi). Uraoshi, the thin, flat rim that surrounds the Urasuki, enhances the strength of the blade alongside its otherwise vulnerable edges. The Uraoshi can cut food with little damage to the cells and surface, keeping the texture and taste of the food intact.

In the case of the Saya, it is protected by a wooden sheath that adds to the appearance when not in use while adding protection. Knives from Yoshihiro are each made by hand by master artisans into a unique
