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

Slicing Precision & Stainless Maintenance: 270mm Ginsan Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this 270mm Yanagiba represents the essential standard size for sushi and sashimi preparation. 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 popular 270mm (10.6 inch) blade length provides the perfect balance of reach and control, allowing for seamless, single-stroke draw cuts on raw fish blocks. Its traditional single-bevel (Kataba) profile with a concave back (Urasuki) prevents tissue tearing and keeps slices from sticking, producing a glossy finish that highlights the fish's natural freshness. Fitted with a luxury Octagonal Ebony Handle complemented by a rare White Water Buffalo Horn ferrule, it offers supreme comfort and hand balance.
