Authentic Forged Japanese Sashimi Knife

The Masamoto VG Series Yanagiba represents the absolute highest grade of traditional Japanese-style slicing knives produced by the legendary Masamoto Sohonten. Expertly hand-forged (Honkasumi) by master artisans, this masterwork is specifically engineered for professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts who demand perfection in sushi and sashimi preparation.

Masterwork of VG-10 Cobalt Steel (HRC 60-61)

Crafted with a premium VG-10 Cobalt Steel core, this Yanagiba delivers an unparalleled cutting experience. The integration of cobalt elevates the steel to an exceptional hardness of HRC 60 to 61, ensuring extraordinary edge retention and superior wear resistance. Unlike traditional high-carbon steel knives, this advanced stainless formulation provides maximum rust resistance and effortless maintenance without sacrificing that signature, razor-sharp Japanese bite.

Single-Bevel Edge for Flawless Slicing

Featuring a traditional Single Bevel Edge (Kataba), the long, narrow blade allows you to slice boneless fish fillets from tail to head in a single, fluid pull motion. This ultra-sharp edge angle causes absolute minimal cell damage to the cut surface. By preserving the delicate cells of raw fish, it locks in the authentic flavor, pristine texture, and brilliant visual gloss required for world-class sashimi.

Traditional D-Shaped Magnolia Handle

True to centuries-of-old traditions, this knife is fitted with a D-shaped Japanese magnolia wood (Magnolia) handle. Known for its natural slip resistance and lightweight balance, it is beautifully complemented by a genuine black buffalo horn bolster (ferrule).
(Please note: Saya/sheath is not included).
