Kikuichi Kasumi 8 in. (210mm) Yanagi

This 8.2 in. (210mm) Kasumi Series Yanagi from Kikuichi is a traditionally forged knife using a jacket steel (soft carbon) and premium (White #2) cutting steel mimicking old school sword making techniques. This is a high carbon steel knife meaning it has the best ability to take and hold an edge but can be susceptible to rust if not dried after use. The Yanagiba is used in Japanese cooking to preform tasks like cutting thin strips of fish or beef, or making decorative cuts with greens for garnishing.
