Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Rin Yanagiba 270mm

The Kikuzuki Rin Yanagiba 270mm is a refined expression of traditional Japanese knife-making. Forged by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka-san in Sakai, this yanagiba is designed for clean, precise slicing with maximum control and minimal effort.

Made with a Shirogami 2 core and soft iron cladding, it takes on a razor-sharp edge and is a pleasure to sharpen. The kasumi finish highlights the soft steel cladding against the polished core, giving the blade a clean, elegant look that reflects its craftsmanship.

The long, slender blade shape is ideal for single-stroke cuts, perfect for sashimi, sushi, and fine slicing work. Paired with a traditional octagonal handle, it offers great control and balance in hand.
