The Yoshihiro shirogami#2 kiritsuke yanagiba 300mm is a handcrafted Japanese sushi knife from Sakai, Japan, sharpened and finished by Masaya Shimizu. This single-bevel knife features a Hitachi Shirogami #2 carbon steel core with iron cladding in nimai construction and a migaki finish. Shirogami steel is a fine-grained carbon steel known for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a razor-sharp edge. The blade measures 293mm with 33.9mm height. This kiritsuke yanagiba is designed for slicing fish for sushi and sashimi, with a pointed tip and long straight edge for clean and precise cuts. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use. Includes a magnolia saya for storage and protection.

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.
