Crafted in Sakai by a certified Traditional Craftsman and president of the Sakai Uchihamono Traditional Craftsmen Association, this honyaki blade features a mirror polish finish and a blood groove. The 300mm length suits professional kitchens where extended blade reach facilitates long, uninterrupted drawing cuts through seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue #1 steel contains high carbon and tungsten content, providing edge retention and toughness while remaining responsive to sharpening. As a reactive carbon steel construction without stainless cladding, the blade requires immediate wiping and drying after use to prevent rust and allow patina development. The honyaki forging method produces a blade from a single piece of high-carbon steel, distinguishing it from clad alternatives. Measuring 4.3mm at the heel and tapering to 0.9mm at the tip, the spine geometry supports the slender yanagiba profile designed specifically for slicing sashimi and sushi with minimal cellular damage to ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshikazu Ikeda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063118840029,"sku":null,"price":4162000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_8461.jpg?v=1764292218","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/exotic-yoshikazu-ikeda-blue-1-mizu-honyaki-k-tip-yanagiba-300mm-with-blood-groove-black-white-ebony","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
