Fuji Yanagiba 330mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Genkai Masakuni 330mm Yanagiba is a mizu-honyaki knife forged from White #2 steel by master Mukou Yoneo, featuring the rare Mt Fuji hamon pattern and best fitting users seeking traditional sashimi preparation with collectible craftsmanship. The blade measures 318mm in edge length with a mirror polish finish and weighs 254g. As a dedicated sashimi slicing tool, this long slender profile facilitates precise cuts on raw fish and seafood with minimal effort during single-direction draw strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite #2 carbon steel provides sharp cutting performance and is notably easy to sharpen, though it remains very reactive and requires immediate wiping and drying after use to prevent corrosion. This honyaki construction involves differential hardening that creates the distinct Mt Fuji hamon, a technique with a high failure rate due to concentrated stress at the pattern peak. Mukou Yoneo trained in Sakai before establishing his forge on Kabe island near Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, where he continues to produce these knives as one of few blacksmiths capable of consistently executing this specific mizu-honyaki method.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genkai Masakuni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46970539671773,"sku":null,"price":3238000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_7452.jpg?v=1762771149","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/exotic-genkai-masakuni-%e7%8e%84%e6%b5%b7%e6%ad%a3%e5%9c%8b-mizu-honyaki-mt-fuji-yanagiba-330mm-1","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
