Forged by Yoshihiro Yauji, a Takefu Knife Village member and student of Hideo Kitaoka, this blade features Aogami #2 carbon steel with a soft iron Damascus clad in nimai construction. The 270mm profile suits precise slicing tasks, while the reactive carbon steel core requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Yanagiba measures 3.4mm at the heel, tapering to 0.9mm at the tip, and weighs 172g. The kasumi surface finish pairs with a thin geometry behind the edge to support clean cuts through seafood. An octagonal teak handle with a black buffalo horn ferrule provides a traditional grip for single bevel operation. Hitachi Blue 2 steel offers high carbon content for edge retention and responds well to sharpening, making this knife suitable for users maintaining carbon steel edges. Production remains limited as Yauji personally handles both forging and sharpening for each piece in this collaborative line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Yauji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47535490400477,"sku":"YAUJ_B2DA_YA270","price":481000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_4357.jpg?v=1776389417","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-x-yoshihiro-yauji-blue-2-damascus-yanagiba-270mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
