In particular, he is known for his Blue #1 steel, which has the high hardness point without the accompanying difficulty in sharpening, according to professional sharpeners working with his blades in Sakai. Tosho fans may already know of Tanaka-san’s work from Konosuke’s coveted Fujiyama series. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite Tanaka-san’s advanced age and propensity to work with iron cladded knives, he still challenges himself by experimenting with new materials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese fish slicing blade that is single-sided (beveled), often simply referred to as a “sushi knife.” These slicers may not be as versatile as its double-sided cousin, Sujihiki, but when it comes to pure slicing tasks of boneless protein (and not just fish), a well-sharpened Yanagiba is unmatched in performance. It is a great addition for any cooks working with sashimi and other delicate, raw seafoods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Hitohira \u003cbr\u003eSmith: Tanaka Blacksmith \u003cbr\u003eSharpener: Manzo \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Sakai-Osaka\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Yanagiba \u003cbr\u003eSize: 240mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Carbon Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Yasuki Blue (Aogami) #1, Soft Iron Clad \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Ho Wood \u0026amp; Buffalo Horn Ferrule D-Shape \u003cbr\u003eCome with Saya \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 377mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 231mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 244mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 31mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 2.8mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 134mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 140g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Right-Handed \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitohira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823136870494,"sku":"AAA-115B1-05-IA240","price":572.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/4111\/files\/Manzob1240yanagi1.jpg?v=1781454006","url":"https:\/\/toshoknifearts.com\/en-sg\/products\/aaa-115b1-05-ia240","provider":"Tosho Knife Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
