Yoshihiro Yauji-san is a young blacksmith who works out of the Takefu knife village in order to produce his knives. In fact, if you ever take a trip to the Takefu Knife village visitor centre you can see his workspace from the recently constructed gift shop. After many years of working as an apprentice under Hideo Kitaoka he struck out on his own in 2019. Yauji-san is an extremely talented craftsman who forges, sharpens and polishes all of his own blades.
The Knife
The Yanagiba is a traditional, single beveled, Japanese fish slicing knife, primarily used to slice and skin boneless fish fillets. They feature a long, slender blade, allowing the user to make long drawing strokes for the perfect slice. Being single beveled, they angle in from only one side of the blade and thus are super sharp. Minimizing cellular damage to raw fish before consuming it preserves the freshness, texture, and flavour of the fish. The Yanagiba does just that, making it the preferred tool for Japanese sushi chefs when slicing sashimi.
*THIS KNIFE IS FOR RIGHT HANDED USERS ONLY*
- This Knife is made from 3 layers of material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding. Iron and carbon steel are both susceptible to rust and must be kept dry and clean at all time’s to avoid oxidation and discolouration.
- Simply wipe the knife with a damp cloth immediately after use.
- Wash with regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Never put your knife in the dishwasher! The extreme heat will ruin the wooden handle.
- Highly acidic ingredients (Onions, Tomatoes, Citrus) Will cause rust and oxidation to happen faster, thus the user must ensure the knife is wiped clean immediately after working with such an ingredient.
- Should any rust form it can be removed using a rust eraser or a mixture of Baking soda and water to simply scrub it clean.
- Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
