Kiritsuke Yanagiba 270mm - Ginsan Nickel Damascus Steel (Ebony & White Buffalo Horn Handle)

Artistic Damascene Beauty & K-Tip Precision: 270mm Kiritsuke Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this 270mm Kiritsuke Yanagiba represents the gold standard size for Japanese fish slicing, elevated by Ginsan Nickel Damascus steel. Combining the razor-sharp edge retention of high-carbon steel with the low-maintenance rust resistance of Ginsan (Silver 3) stainless steel, each blade features a unique, flowing wave pattern created through precise hand-hammering.

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 versatile 270mm (10.6 inch) length provides ideal stroke capacity for single-pass draw cuts on raw fish. The reverse-tanto "K-tip" profile allows for surgical precision when performing detailed delicate scoring, skinning, and fine trimming. Its traditional single-bevel (Kataba) profile with a concave back (Urasuki) prevents food from sticking, ensuring pristine, glossy cuts. Fitted with a luxury Octagonal Ebony Handle complemented by a rare White Water Buffalo Horn ferrule, it offers supreme comfort and hand balance.
