Product Description

By definition, nami means wave and uchi means forge. Our namiuchi knives are forged with Blue Steel #1 with a beautiful wave pattern. The wave pattern makes it more challenging to combine the hard and soft iron together. Exceptional attention is given during the hammering process as it purifies the metal. Only highly experienced knife craftsmen can make these knives, therefore not many of these knives are made. The cutting edge of the namiuchi is superior than most knives made of Blue Steel #1.

The kiritsuke yanagi has a sword tip. It is slightly heavier than the traditional yanagi. The weight is evenly distributed from the tip and heel of the blade. This makes it easier to use the long blade. Most frequently used to prepare sashimi and slicing raw fish. Can also be used to cut large cuts of meat without bones. Not to be use with frozen foods. Whetstone is recommended for sharpening. Recommended for professional chefs. � �*Not Stain-Resistant

History- Since 1550, Yoshihiro, Masamune, and Yoshimitsu were known as the best sword craftsmen in Japan. After his death, Yoshihiro's apprentices continued to use his technique and traditional skills. The techniques used to make samurai swords are used to make Yoshihiro chef knives. Yoshihiro knives are now recognized to be one of the best chef knives in Japan due to the rich history and techniques that are applied from sword making to chef knives.

YOSHIHIRO- Namiuchi Ao-ko / Blue Steel Yanagi Kiritsuke Sword Sashimi Sushi Chef Knife 10.5" 270mm -MADE IN JAPAN Review

Recieved this knive today and it looked beautiful. Having been a chef for 30 years I was looking forward to trying a new knife. To start this blade is absolutely incredible! All superlatives! I cut some tuna and salmon for sashimi and it was like cutting through warm butter. EFFORTLESS! It was if the weight of the blade was doing the slicing. Truely incredible!! I've worked with many different brands of knives over the years and these are very special. They are specialized and not for all kitchen work but if your making sushi or sashimi or working with veges or seafood these are truely remarkable.
