Lighter and narrower than a yanagiba, roughly 20% lighter at the same length. Where a yanagiba uses its weight to carry the blade through the cut, the takohiki's lighter build gives a finer sense of control and more feedback with every slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Sakai, Japan by Yoshikazu Tanaka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpened and finished by Yamawaki Hamono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e264mm (10.3\") actual cutting edge, 27.7mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShirogami #1 (~64 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctagonal magnolia handle with buffalo horn ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes magnolia saya\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro knives\" href=\"https:\/\/zahocho.com\/collections\/yoshihiro-japanese-knives\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGoh Umanosuke Yoshihiro\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlacksmith:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Yoshikazu Tanaka knives\" href=\"https:\/\/zahocho.com\/collections\/yoshikazu-tanaka\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eYoshikazu Tanaka\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducing area:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sakai, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e sakimaru takohiki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shirogami#1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~64 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e carbon steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade \u0026amp; Handle Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 413mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length (heel to tip):\u003c\/strong\u003e 264mm (10.3\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade height at heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eat the handle: 3.4mm\u003cbr\u003eat the heel: 3.2mm\u003cbr\u003emidway: 2.4mm\u003cbr\u003e1cm from the tip: 1.2mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge\/bevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e single bevel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e octagonal magnolia with buffalo horn ferrule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e right-handed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya\/sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e magnolia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 8px 24px; margin-top: 16px; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike.
