Miki Masamitsu M503 Yanagiba (vismes/Sushimes), 240 mm

€ 199,00 (including VAT)

Miki M503 Yanagiba, 240 mm,

This Japanese sushi knife has a Sanmai forged blade with core steel of Japanese Shirogami # 2 steel ("white steel") (non-stainless) and a softer type of steel for the outside. This single-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by the master smith Masamitsu-san of Miki Hamono and is unique in its kind. A Yanagiba knife is the typical Japanese sushi / sashimi knife, because of its shape and length, this knife is ideal for cutting raw fish. The length makes it possible to cut a piece of sashimi in 1 stroke.

Because this knife has a Mune-machi (notch in the blade when entering the handle), the length is traditionally measured from the machi, the blade knife is therefore somewhat shorter than the "regular" yanagibas of the same length that are measured from the Ago (back point).

  • Blade length: 240 mm
  • Total length: 380mm
  • Weight: 144 gram
  • Blade thickness (measured on the back): at handle: 4.2 mm and 5 cm from the tip: 2.3 mm
  • Steel type: core steel: Japanese Shirogami #2 steel "white steel" (sharpened on one side)
  • Hardness: 62-64 (Rockwell C)
  • Handle: D-shaped handle of traditional Honoki wood ("Whitebark Magnolia") with black buffalo horn bolster.
  • NOTE: This knife is only suitable for right-handed use.

Like all Japanese knives, the handmade knives from Miki Hamono are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
