Hon Kasumiyaki represents a traditional approach to crafting single-bevel knives. These blades are meticulously hand-forged, following the time-honored techniques of sword making, using two distinct pieces of steel. The Kikuichi Ginsan series stands as the epitome of quality, meeting the exacting standards of discerning chefs.

Gin-san, or Ginsanko, is a premium stainless steel renowned for its exceptional performance. The skilled artisans at Kikuichi employ a blend of traditional forging methods and contemporary techniques, incorporating strengthening elements like Carbon, Chromium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon. The outcome is a knife that sharpens effortlessly and maintains its razor-sharp edge. Gin-San is celebrated for its user-friendliness and is a preferred choice for single-bevel knives across all levels of culinary expertise. The Yanagi's long, slender blade and single bevel make slicing sushi, sashimi, and rolls an effortless art.
