This 300mm blade measures 285mm in edge length with a heel height of 43mm and weighs 250g. The Kiritsuke Yanagiba profile possesses a flatter shape and defined tip that facilitates precise slicing of sashimi and fine cutting tasks with the front section of the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue 2 carbon steel achieves 61-63 HRC and contains tungsten for improved edge retention and toughness. As this knife is not stainless clad, the reactive nimai soft iron Damascus construction requires immediate drying and light oiling to prevent rust. The etched surface finish displays the distinct Anmon pattern characteristic of Nigara’s Aomori forging tradition. Spine thickness measures 4.3mm at the heel, 3.3mm at mid, and tapers to 1.0mm at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn octagonal ebony handle with a centre square mosaic pin provides a traditional Japanese grip suited to single-bevel operation. Headed by Go Yoshizawa, Nigara applies inherited Tsugaru sword smithing techniques to modern knife making. This knife suits users who value artistic craftsmanship alongside functional performance in high-carbon steel cutlery for specialised seafood preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45174529949917,"sku":"NIGARA_ANB2_KTIPYANAGI300","price":963000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NigaraAnmonBlue2RaindropDamascusK-tipYanagiba300mmD.jpg?v=1715432727","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nigara-anmon-kurozome-blue-2-damascus-kiritsuke-yanagiba-330mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
