Sakai Takayuki | Ginsan Steel, Ebony Handle | Sword-Shaped Yanagiba Knife (Flying Swallow) | 300mm | Ebony and Octagonal Buffalo Brass

[Rare Double-Edged] Silver Steel Split Steel Sword-Shaped Yanagiba (Flying Swallow) 300mm Ebony Handle

• Usage: This is an extremely rare knife that has the beautiful form of a yanagiba knife, but is finished with the same double-edged blade as Western knives. Because it does not have the "ura-suki" (back edge) that is typical of single-edged knives, the blade cuts straight into ingredients like a sujihiki knife (slicer), allowing you to cut roast beef, ham, and large fish fillets in a straight line without any kinks.
• Design (Hien, 300mm): This "Hien" knife features elegant lines reminiscent of a flying swallow and a sharp, pointed tip. The impressive 300mm blade length not only allows you to slice through large ingredients with a single pull, but also makes a great countertop addition.
• Material: The core is made of Hitachi Metals' "Ginsankou" steel, sandwiched between soft stainless steel in a "Warikomi" structure. Its rust-resistant properties mean it can be used without worrying about acidic fruits, fatty meat, or the moisture in fish. It's easy to sharpen and maintains a sharp edge.
• Handle: The octagonal handle is made of ebony, a precious wood that boasts the hardest and most durable qualities. It is water-resistant and resistant to corrosion over time. Its lustrous black color complements the silver blade, creating an overwhelming sense of luxury.

"I want the beauty of a Japanese knife, but I prefer the ease of use of a slicer (sujihiki)." This luxurious, all-purpose slicer fulfills the niche desire of professionals, using the finest materials and techniques.
