Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan by Satoshi Nakagawa for the Hatsukokoro brand, this 300mm yanagiba has an Aogami #1 core. Its long blade is built for single-draw cuts. At 300mm, the length allows a single pass through most cuts rather than multiple strokes, a length favored by professionals though usable by home cooks with the space for it. This carbon steel knife develops a patina over time and needs regular drying to prevent rust.

Notes:
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you'd like to see the exact knife you'll receive, email us at info@zahocho.com.
The blade has a protective lacquer coating. Remove it with acetone before first use.
Minor variations in finish, surface marks, and measurements are normal in handcrafted Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
