The Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese knife designed for clean, thin cuts of sashimi and fish. With its long blade, it ensures beautiful presentation of delicate slices. This single-edged high-carbon steel knife is a rare, discontinued piece from Hiromoto, in unused stored condition. Minor storage scratches and honing marks are present.
The knife has been sharpened, so it is ready to use immediately upon arrival. Please handle with care when unpacking. The price includes the sharpening fee.
It features the engraving "宏元作" (Hiromoto) and a branded burn mark on the handle. A collector’s item and a superb functional knife, representing the fading tradition of hand-forged Japanese craftsmanship.
