Gin-San Kiritsuke Yanagi Mirror Finish

Introducing the Yoshihiro Yanagi-Kiritsuke: Where Tradition Meets Precision

The term "Kiritsuke" signifies "cut off," a nod to its distinctive leaf-shaped tip. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this Yanagi-Kiritsuke knife boasts a stunning mirror-polished finish, an elegant Japanese Rosewood octagonal handle, and a protective White Oak Saya cover. Its elongated, slender blade and single-bevel design make it the ultimate tool for effortlessly slicing through sushi, sashimi, and rolls.

The blade is forged from Gin-san, also known as Ginsanko, a high-performance stainless steel renowned for its sharpness and durability. Yoshihiro's master blade-smiths employ a blend of traditional forging techniques and modern innovations, infusing the blade with the strengthening elements of Carbon, Chromium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon. The result is a knife that sharpens with exceptional ease and maintains its edge over time.

User-friendly and cherished by chefs of all levels, Gin-San is the preferred blade material for single-bevel knives, ensuring a seamless culinary experience. Elevate your cutting precision with the Yoshihiro Yanagi-Kiritsuke, where time-honored craftsmanship meets contemporary excellence.
