Japanese Yanagiba Knife 210mm Kunibu 小鍛冶國武 kitchen knife sashimi knife

Description: Japanese Yanagiba Knife 210mm by Kunibu (Kokubu)

This is a traditional Japanese Yanagiba knife, crafted by the skilled artisans of Kunibu (Kokubu). With a classic length of 210mm, this knife is specifically designed for preparing sashimi and sushi, allowing for impeccably clean, single-stroke slices that preserve the texture and flavor of the fish.

The blade, renowned for its sharpness, is in unused condition. It has been stored with care and remains in excellent overall state. Please note that as a high-carbon steel blade, it is susceptible to oxidation; the knife exhibits minor surface rust (as pictured). This is a superficial issue that can be carefully removed with proper polishing and does not affect the structural integrity or cutting performance of the blade.

This represents an opportunity to acquire a high-quality, specialist knife from a respected maker, ready to be restored to its original pristine condition with minimal maintenance.
