Sakai Takayuki Homura Guren Yanagiba 300mm

About the Shape -Yanagibas are long, thin, single-bevel knives ground and sharpened on one side. Translating to “willow’s leaf,” they’re graceful and elegant like their name suggests. Yanagibas are commonly used for slicing sashimi, but can also be used for carving other meats like roast beef and prime rib.

Sakai Takayuki Homura Guren - Forged by Master blacksmith Itsuo Doi, the Guren series of knives made an immediate impact when the team at Knifewear got a hold of them due to the unique shapes and elegant kurouchi finish, not often seen from Blacksmiths in Sakai. Forged with Aogami No.2. and clad in softer iron, this series of knives have a heft to them, which means they'll make great workhorses in your kitchen.
