Forged in Tosa from corrosion-resistant Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel and given a brushed migaki finish, it holds a razor edge yet cleans up easily. A traditional octagonal magnolia handle with buffalo-horn ferrule offers a dry, slip-free grip even when your hands are damp.

Stainless steel makes this a great first yanagiba, with little maintenance and extraordinary performance. 

Common Questions

Q: Is this yanagiba fully stainless?
A: Yes. Ginsan (Silver #3) is a high-chromium stainless that resists rust yet sharpens like carbon steel, so maintenance is minimal. 

Q: Will the 300 mm length be hard to control at home?
A: Surprisingly, no. The knife weighs just 204 g and balances near the ferrule, so long draw cuts feel fluid instead of unwieldy. 

Q: Do I need a left-handed version?
A: Because this is a right-hand, single-bevel grind, left-handed users should choose a mirrored version for true performance. Otherwise you’ll fight steering on every slice.
