Tsunehisa Yanagiba AUS8 300mm

Description

This Yanagiba came from the factory with an edge that I wasn't satisfied with so they have been refinished on whetstones up to a 6000 grit stone. These knives are great entry level knives into the world of single bevels. The construction of these knives helps with gliding through delicate seafood with minimal contact points. "The TSUNEHISA brand is committed to providing knives with both functionality and design, aiming to be cherished and used for a long time in our customers' homes. While inheriting traditional Japanese forging techniques, we also incorporate the latest materials and technologies to meet the needs of the modern era." I met Shibata-san on my 3rd visit to Japan. His video on the Tinker Tank is the first video I watched about Japanese knives from a Japanese craftsman. He's one of the reasons I started down the Japanese Chef Knife rabbit hole. Meeting him and his team was such a pleasant experience all around and it was worth the extra effort to get to his shop.
