A 270mm KS honkasumi yanagiba from Masamoto Sohonten. The KS series, a popular choice among collectors and culinary professionals alike, features a high-grade shirogami#2/white#2 core steel and a higher level of refinement compared to the KK series. Heat-treated to 62-63 HRC, this steel excels in attaining remarkable hardness without excessive brittleness. The blade seamlessly integrates with a classic d-shaped magnolia handle adorned by a black horn ferrule.

The yanagiba is a traditional Japanese slicing knife, purpose-built for precise slicing of raw fish. Its long, single-edged blade facilitates clean cuts, making it an essential tool in the art of sushi preparation. Just like other knives within the KS series, this 270mm honkasumi yanagiba knife exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and performance.
