Specifications
The Hatsukokoro Shirasagi kurouchi aogami#2 yanagiba 270mm is a handcrafted Japanese slicing knife forged by blacksmith Toru Tamura (the same blacksmith for Tetsujin brand) and sharpened by Tateo Myojin. The core steel is aogami#2, known for its exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The blade features a rustic kurouchi finish, which adds both visual appeal and protection against corrosion. At 270mm in length, this yanagiba is a great size for both home and professional use, offering ample blade length for slicing through fish and creating beautiful, precise cuts. It is a versatile and reliable choice for anyone looking to add a high-quality yanagiba to their collection.
