About the Yanagi: The Yanagi is used to slice boneless fish fillets into sashimi and sushi. The graceful, long, and thin blade is designed to cut slices in one drawing stroke, which applies minimal pressure on the flesh of the fish to avoid stress and cell destruction.
About the VG10 Honyaki Soryu Series: The Honyaki process is one of the most difficult methods to construct a knife with only a handful of knife makers in Japan who can successfully pull it off. Since only 1 type of steel is used in forging, it requires extreme precision and dedication to get the right temperature & tempering. The handle and Saya are made from traditional Wenge wood, one of the densest woods available.
