Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are crafted by our master artisans with the utmost care to create high quality knives that offer exceptional performance with exceptional value. White Steel #2 with a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 62-63, is forged with iron to create beautiful mist patterns called Kasumi.



Handcrafted in Japan with traditional techniques, our Yanagi has a completely flat grind on the front side (Shinogi), a concave grind (Urasuki), and a flat rim (Uraoshi) on the back. The combination of the Urasuki and Shinogi allow for the blade to cut food with minimal damage to the surface and cells, therefore not spoiling the texture and taste. The Uraoshi is the thin, flat rim that surrounds the Urasuki and enhances the strength of the blade at its otherwise vulnerable edges.



Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted D-Shaped Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.



Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained. Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you recommend this knife for filleting whole salmon
Answer:	No. The edge on this knife is very thin and sharp. It is perfect for cutting filets into sashimi pieces without damaging the flesh. However it is not durable enough to withstand the bones and the thickness of a whole salmon. Traditionally the Japanese use a deba knife, and a deba knife only, to filet fish. Please search "Yoshihiro Deba"
Question:	What is the overall length of the 300mm ("12inch") knife, including the handle? Trying to make sure it would fit in my knife roll... Thx
Answer:	I own the 10" blade. My D shape handle is 5 1/4" long 1" in the widest part. I suggest you to contact Yoshihiro, they have the best costumer service and carry different handle styles, this is one of the best Japanese Knifes and great value. You may want a new roll or the 10" model, which suits me to perfection.
Question:	Are these knives made in Japan
Answer:	Yes, Yoshihiro Yanagi knives are hand made in Japan. Thank you
Question:	Should i worry about rust inside the engraving? How can i keep that dry or remove rust inside the engraving
Answer:	Normal cleanup should involve very hot water and thorough drying. A single drop of tsubaki oil on each side of the blade spread thin with fingers. Start with the drop at the engraving and it should flow into the marks, preventing rust. Store in a dry saya or on a mag bar. Wipe with a clean soft cloth before use.......repeat, enjoy. If rust needs to be removed, use the finest Yoshihiro rust eraser and work with the grind lines.

Yoshihiro Kasumi White Steel Yanagi

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife designed to cut thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi. The beauty of its elegant thin blade is in its ability to slice through ingredients in long uninterrupted strokes, preserving their integrity and freshness. The Yanagi is one of the most essential of traditional Japanese knives and is a powerful component in the repertoire of many chefs.

Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are crafted by our master artisans with the utmost care to create high quality knives that offer exceptional performance with exceptional value. Kasumi translates as mist and refers to the beautiful mist like patterns on the blade that are formed when White Steel #2 (HRC 62 to 63) is forged with iron.

Excellent for entry and Intermediate level chefs. The blade comes complimented with a D-shaped handle made either of Magnolia wood or Rosewood. Magnolia wood protective sheath included. Comes ready to use out of the box. 100% handcrafted in Japan. Not mass produced.

Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones. It is the best surface to sharpen and maintain the blade and also the best tool to preserve and take care of the high quality steel that it is made of.

High Carbon steels are not stainless and will stain with use. Staining is normal and will not affect the performance of the blade or the food that you cut. However, if you wish to avoid staining, keep the blade dry as much as possible and apply a drop of Tsubaki knife oil to the blade before it is put away for storage. If stains develop, much of it can be removed by using a rust eraser.

Hand wash with mild soap. Do not put in a dishwasher. For maintenance info and professional Japanese knife sharpening contact our Yoshihiro Cutlery store.
