Masamoto? Yanagiba Knife, Sharpened, Water Buffalo Handle, Sashimi Knife, Faint and Hard-to-Read Engraving

Masamoto (Likely) Yanagiba Knife

The Yanagiba is designed to make clean, single strokes through sashimi, maintaining the integrity of the fish and creating elegant presentation. It's a staple in both professional and home kitchens.

This knife features a high-carbon steel blade and single bevel for razor-sharp performance. There are signs of storage such as spots and scratches, but it's still in usable condition. The buffalo horn handle and care it has received suggest it's a quality piece. The maker’s mark appears to be from Masamoto, although it is not fully legible.

The knife is sharpened and ready for immediate use. Please handle carefully when opening. Price includes the sharpening cost.

If you're searching for a genuine Japanese sashimi knife with professional-level performance, this piece offers incredible value despite the faint engraving.
