It makes for a perfect & stunning addition to your knife collection; or as a gift for chef in your life! Forged & hammered Aogami #2 (Blue #2) Damascus carbon steel blade by Sasaoka Akira in Japan.

Blade - Yanagiba 270mm - Single-bevel Aogami #2 Damascus Carbon Steel - forged and hammered by Master Blacksmith Sasaoka Akira in Japan.

Aogami #2 carbon steel is supremely hardened, for ultimate sharpness and edge retention. The single bevel grind offers a maximally acute angle for an insanely sharp cutting edge. The back side of the blade is flat, with a slight concave to assist with food release. Due to the single bevel grind, this blade is designed for right-hand use.

The handle is traditional long octagonal shape with rounded ends & edges, and dialed-in tapered geometry for ultimate comfort based on intended usage. This handle is made from Texas Ebony, with a bolster of pearlescent resin, a brass spacer - Comes with a custom Rosewood 'saya' (sheath) & brass retaining pin - lovingly handcrafted by Warwood Made in our small Austin, TX workshop.
