Specifications
The Shigefusa kitaeji 330mm yanagiba is a single bevel knife designed for precise slicing of sushi and sashimi. It is made with a proprietary Swedish carbon steel core and reactive damascus iron cladding. The blade features the distinctive kitaeji pattern, which is created through layered forging and results in a unique damascus pattrern on every knife. The long, narrow profile supports clean, controlled cuts, and the geometry is shaped for smooth draw slicing. The knife is fitted with a D-shaped ho wood handle and a buffalo horn ferrule.

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.
