Ginsan Steel Yanagiba Kengata 390mm Ebony Black Buffalo Horn

Unmatched Reach & K-Tip Precision: 390mm Extra-Long Ginsan Kensaki Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this extra-long 390mm Kensaki (sword-tip) Yanagiba represents the ultimate master tool for processing large tuna and giant oceanic fish. 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 390mm (15.3 inch) blade length (560mm total length) provides maximum stroke capacity for effortless, single-pass draw cuts on giant fish blocks. Its reverse-tanto K-tip profile offers surgical accuracy for detailed scoring, trimming, and skinning despite its grand proportions. 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 (375g) with remarkable counter-balance.
