CUSTOM BACK ORDER ONLY. The Mt. Fuji with Crescent Moon Hamon Yanagi Kiritsuke is a stunning masterpiece crafted by one of Yoshihiro's premier knife masters in Sakai, Japan. The knife features a uniquely designed hamon pattern that evokes the iconic Fuji Mountain alongside a Crescent Moon, making it a striking work of art as well as a functional culinary tool.

Our Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are handcrafted with exceptional skill, forged from the highest quality steel using traditional methods honed over centuries in Japanese sword-making. The term "Honyaki" means "true forged," signifying the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship. Each knife is created from a single piece of White Steel #2, boasting a remarkable hardness of 65 on the Rockwell scale. This steel is heated in furnaces reaching thousands of degrees and quenched in cool water, resulting in knives that combine outstanding performance with breathtaking aesthetics.

This exquisite knife is paired with a traditional handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, featuring a Water Buffalo horn bolster and a Triple Nickel Silver Ring. Included with the knife is a protective wooden sheath known as a Saya, which safeguards the blade and enhances its visual appeal when not in use.

The Yanagi Kiritsuke is a long slicing knife expertly designed for creating thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. It is an essential tool in the arsenal of any chef, standing out for its ability to deliver precision and finesse. The Yanagi Kiritsuke is slightly heavier than the traditional Yanagi, featuring a wider blade and a thicker spine, providing a robust feel that many chefs appreciate. The sword tip is thoughtfully designed to balance the weight of the knife, making it ideal for those who favor a heftier instrument without sacrificing the grace and precision needed for delicate slicing tasks.
