Ginsan Steel Yanagiba Kiritsuke 360mm Ebony Black Buffalo Horn

Unmatched Reach & K-Tip Precision: 360mm Extra-Long Ginsan Kensaki Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this extra-long 360mm Kensaki (sword-tip) Yanagiba represents the ultimate tool for processing massive oceanic fish and huge sashimi blocks. Crafted from Ginsan (Silver 3) high-carbon stainless steel, it delivers the razor-sharp performance, edge retention, and smooth slicing feel of traditional carbon steel with the easy maintenance of a rust-resistant blade.

Master Yamatsuka applies extra cycles of heating and precise hand-hammering during the forging process to refine the metal’s grain structure at a microscopic level. This results in superior edge durability and an exceptionally smooth slicing feel on the board.

The commanding 360mm (14.1 inch) blade length provides maximum stroke capacity for effortless, single-pass draw cuts on large tuna and giant fish. Its reverse-tanto K-tip profile offers surgical accuracy for detailed scoring, trimming, and skinning despite its grand length. Its traditional single-bevel (Kataba) profile with a concave back (Urasuki) prevents tissue tearing and keeps slices from sticking. Fitted with a luxury Octagonal Ebony Handle paired with a Black Water Buffalo Horn ferrule, it provides a solid build (373g) with remarkable counter-balance.
