Yanagiba 300mm - Ginsan Steel

Uncompromising sharpness meets effortless maintenance. A traditional 240mm Ginsan Yanagiba for flawless sashimi cuts.

Hand-forged by Master Shogo Yamatsuka, a certified Traditional Craftsman in Sakai with over 50 years of experience, this "Ginsan Yanagiba 240mm" is a masterclass in traditional Japanese cutlery. It features Ginsan (Silver #3), a high-grade stainless steel that delivers the razor-sharp performance and edge longevity of carbon steel while providing exceptional resistance to rust.

Master Yamatsuka repeatedly heats and hammers the steel (Hizukuri) through an extended forging process to refine the metal’s microscopic grain structure to the absolute limit. This precision craftsmanship yields a single-bevel blade that glides through delicate fish fibers without tearing, creating clean, glossy cut surfaces while maintaining high chip-resistance.

The 240mm blade length is the classic, most versatile size for both professional chefs and home culinary enthusiasts. Its stainless properties make maintenance simple—even when working in acidic or wet prep environments—ensuring your blade stays pristine service after service.
