A Japanese knife with an AUS8 stainless steel blade
This yanagiba knife features a blade made from AUS-8 Japanese stainless steel, an alloy enriched with carbon and tungsten, which enhances its rigidity and sharpness. With a hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade maintains excellent cutting efficiency over an extended period. This steel also includes molybdenum and vanadium, elements that enhance its properties: vanadium improves elasticity to prevent breakage, and molybdenum protects against corrosion, ensuring better resistance to humidity.
Thanks to the hardness of AUS-8, this blade is easy to sharpen on a stone when necessary. With its asymmetrical cutting edge, designed for single-sided sharpening, this Japanese kitchen knife is ideal for right-handers, enabling fine, precise cuts in your food.
The polished blade features hand-engraved kanji, adding a touch of authenticity and timeless refinement!
The Japanese yanagiba knife in oak wood
This Japanese kitchen knife features a handle made from oak wood, a material renowned for its strength and durability, offering excellent resistance to moisture, shock and temperature variations. Its golden hue creates a refined contrast with the stainless steel of the blade.
The handle, fashioned in a traditional Japanese octagonal shape, adapts perfectly to the palm of the hand, ensuring optimum comfort and maneuverability, even during long cutting sessions!
Finally, wood putty has been applied where the blade joins the handle, ensuring an optimal seal to prevent any infiltration of water or small food residues.
To care for your Tsunehisa knife, clean only by hand with a soft sponge and non-abrasive soap, avoiding getting the handle wet. Dry immediately and thoroughly to remove all traces of moisture, then store in a dry place. Do not wash in the dishwasher or soak in the sink.
