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

The Pinnacle of Sakai Craftsmanship: 300mm Ginsan Honyaki Yanagiba.

Forged by certified Master Craftsman Shogo Yamatsuka, this 300mm Yanagiba represents the absolute pinnacle of Japanese blacksmithing, crafted using the revered Honyaki (true-forged single material) technique. Combining the low-maintenance rust resistance of Ginsan (Silver 3) stainless steel with the unrivaled hardness and edge retention of a mono-steel blade, this knife is built for master sushi chefs and serious connoisseurs.

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. Because Honyaki blades are forged entirely from a single piece of high-carbon steel, this process demands supreme technical precision, resulting in incredible edge holding and an exceptionally clean, smooth slicing feel on the board.

The impressive 300mm (11.8 inch) blade length allows for seamless, single-stroke slicing of large sashimi blocks. Its traditional single-bevel (Kataba) profile with a concave back (Urasuki) prevents food from sticking, ensuring pristine, glossy cuts with sharp edges. Fitted with a luxury Octagonal Ebony Handle complemented by a rare White Water Buffalo Horn ferrule, this knife delivers supreme density and flawless balance.
