Okada Hocho, Sashimi - Yanagiba (Fish Knife)

Description

Suitable for portioning and filleting fish, and for preparing sushi.

Masanobu Okada is a Japanese »Dento-Kogeishi« - a master of traditional crafts. Working out of the Takefu Knife Village, he represents the third generation of his family to fashion superb kitchen knives. The blade's individual Suminagashi pattern is produced by 20 layers of folded steel enclosing the core cutting layer made of White Paper Steel. This ultrapure carbon steel has extraordinarily fine grinding properties, allowing it to achieve outstanding sharpness. The sandalwood handle possesses a fascinating brown hue with dark lines, and is completed with a black ferrule made of wood laminate. Right-handers will find the knife extremely comfortable to hold thanks to the finger groove positioned on the right side of the handle. The blade bears the signature of the smith and is double-bevelled. Hardness 60 HRC, not rustproof.
Takefu Knife Village
The Takefu Knife Village is a cooperative of blade-smithing specialists. It has upheld the tradition of metalworking for almost 700 years. A small group of extremely skilled master smiths forge limited series of superb knives in their smithies located in the tiny village in Fukui Province. They craft their products by hand to create one-of-a-kind Japanese kitchen knives made only of the best materials.
