Kikuichi 9.4 in. Kiritsuke Yanagi
Our Price: $399.95
One of the highest quality Yanagiba's available at Knife Merchant this hand forged Kikuichi is made by the Kokajikai blacksmiths in Sakai. A Kasumi (two steel) blade is made of superior White #1 cutting steel with an (Sk) soft carbon clad a forging technique that has been kept in tradition since the Samurai era. This is a single-bevel blade meaning the user should only sharpen this knife by hand using whetstones. This is a high carbon (not-stainless) knife and a patina will form with use. We recommend applying oil (wood, mineral) to the blade and wooden handle when storing between uses. Comes with fitted wooden sheath.
