Discover the pinnacle of Japanese cutlery with the Yamawaki Ginsan Sakimaru Yanagiba 360mm. This exceptional Japanese kitchen knife is a masterpiece designed for the art of sashimi. Forged by the renowned Yamatsuka family in Sakai, it features a stunning full mirror polish on the entire blade, including the Hira, bevel, and Urasuki. The core is crafted from premium Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel, offering the sharpness of carbon steel with superior corrosion resistance, making it a practical yet high-performance tool. The defining feature is its authentic Ōzori profile, a pronounced Sori (recurve) in the spine that creates a dramatically curved silhouette. This is not merely aesthetic; it generates a far more effective slicing action, perfect for breaking down large proteins like tuna with a continuous, smooth draw cut. This Japanese kitchen knife is a statement piece, often seen in high-end Omakase kitchens where it functions as both a precision tool and part of the culinary performance. With a single bevel construction, a 355mm cutting edge, and a weight of 380g, it offers superb balance and control. It comes fitted with a special octagonal WA handle in ebony. Ideal for professional chefs, serious enthusiasts, and collectors, this mirror-polished Japanese kitchen knife from Yamawaki Hamono represents a rare blend of traditional forging pedigree, artistic finish, and unparalleled slicing performance.
