Shigefusa Kasumi Yanagiba 270mm
About the Shape - The Yanagiba is a slicerâs dream. Graceful, sexy, and capable of amazing sharpness, youâll find a Yanigiba in the hands of every sushi chef worth their salt. Yanagi means âwillow leafâ and refers to this knifeâs long, narrow shape. The Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese blade that is only sharpened on one side. This is called âsingle bevel.â Traditionally used for slicing sashimi, they are equally at home with a roast beef, ham, or calfâs liver. Once you go Yanagiba, youâll never go back.
About Shigefusa - Shigefusa is probably one of the best known and most respected knife makers coming from Sanjo in Niigata, Japan. Izuka-san, the man behind the Shigefusa name, makes some of the Worldâs most sought after knives. Weâve heard both Masashi Yamamoto and Bob Kramer say that Izuka-san is the best. Izuka-san has a very impressive resume for a blacksmith. He started his training under Kosuke Iwasaki, the father of the man making some of our favourite kamisori straight razors, where he learned basic techniques and a more scientific approach to looking at steel. After learning what he could, he apprenticed under the legendary Nagashima-san who taught him how to take what he learned and apply it to making kitchen knives. Izuka-san is like Luke Skywalker. He started his training with Obi Wan then finished up with Yoda, obviously heâs a force to be reckoned with. Read more
