Yanagiba 300mm - Ginsan Steel (Ebony & Black Buffalo Horn Handle)

Commanding Reach & Stainless Performance: 300mm Ginsan Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this 300mm Yanagiba represents the preferred size for executive chefs handling large sashimi blocks and whole 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 impressive 300mm (11.8 inch) blade length provides maximum stroke length, enabling seamless, single-pass draw cuts that preserve the delicate fibers and natural shine of fresh seafood. 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 delivers supreme density and flawless balance for long-blade handling.
