These knives are made of white #2 steel with a kasumi finish. They come with ho wood octagonal handles and matching ho wood sayas. Unlike many low-cost single bevel knives, these ones are very well finished and have significantly fewer problems than lower cost knives (all knives have some imperfections…even high-end knives…but these have less high and low spots, less sharp non-cutting edges, less prevalence of wavy backs, less prevalence of torsional twisting, etc.). The handles on these knives come with either black, marble, or blonde buffalo horn. We cannot take specific requests, but feel free to check with us about what we have in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are great for beginners and for professionals looking for a great, functional work knife.

Unlike many low cost single bevel knives, these ones are very well finished and have significantly less problems than lower cost knives (all knives have some imperfections, even high end knives, but these have fewer high and low spots, softened edges, less prevalence of wavy backs, less prevalence of torsional twisting, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are great for beginners and for professionals looking for a great, functional work knife. We hope you enjoy this line from Gesshin Uraku.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yanagiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ho Wood Octagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.97mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 261mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.96mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.91mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.04mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.88mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 173g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamawaki Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7055892869,"sku":"GUR270JYW2OSR","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/img_1124.jpeg?v=1444760208"},{"product_id":"gesshin-hide-300mm-blue-1-hon-kasumi-yanagiba","title":"Gesshin Hide 300mm Blue #1 Hon-Kasumi Yanagiba","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-description\" class=\"active\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-description\" class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the skilled craftsmen, Yamamoto Hideaki and Yamamoto Shinichiro, we are proud to introduce Gesshin Hide.  These knives represent the best of Sakai Uchihamono.  From the first time I sharpened one of these knives in 2010, I knew how amazing they were.  With a combination of great steel and amazing grinding, shaping, and sharpening work, these knives are easily among the best single bevel knives I have used.

Unlike many low-cost single bevel knives, these ones are very well finished and have significantly fewer problems than lower cost knives (all knives have some imperfections…even high-end knives…but these have less high and low spots, less sharp non-cutting edges, less prevalence of wavy backs, less prevalence of torsional twisting, etc.). The handles on these knives come with either black, marble, or blonde buffalo horn. We cannot take specific requests, but feel free to check with us about what we have in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are great for beginners and for professionals looking for a great, functional work knife.  We hope you enjoy this line from Gesshin Uraku. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yanagiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White #2 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Ho Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Left-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 145mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.95mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 294mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamawaki Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7065566021,"sku":"GUR300YNW2OSL","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/img_9687.jpeg?v=1444781691"},{"product_id":"gesshin-uraku-270mm-white-2-left-handed-yanagiba","title":"Gesshin Uraku 270mm White #2 Left-Handed Yanagiba","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab-description\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gesshin Uraku line represents a great value in kitchen cutlery.

genius addition... the saya pin is attached to the saya by a string, so as to prevent the loss of the pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, we've had a number of customers ask us for more stainless options for single bevel knives.  Many sushi restaurants in the west incorporate higher quantities of acidic foods and often push through a high volume of food, so having a stainless yanagiba can be very convienient in these cases.  Likewise, for homecooks that are not interested in the care and maintanance involved in carbon steel knives, stainless options often make more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe damascus pattern on the blade runs in a unique way... parallel to the edge.  These knives have a unique

This is something we have been working on for a few months now, together with one of our partners in Japan. Sara and I are very excited to finally be able to introduce it. These knives represent some of the highest levels of craftsmanship and quality we have seen. The blacksmiths, sharpeners, and even lacquer-ware craftsmen are all amazingly skilled, as can clearly be seen by simply looking at them. In fact, all of the craftsmen are certified craftsmen or dentou-kougeishi (a very prestigious honor). These knives have amazing fit and finish, spectacular grinds, some of the most beautiful handles and saya we've seen on Japanese knives, and amazing geometry.

Unlike many low-cost single bevel knives, these ones are very well finished and have significantly fewer problems than lower cost knives (all knives have some imperfections…even high-end knives…but these have less high and low spots, less sharp non-cutting edges, less prevalence of wavy backs, less prevalence of torsional twisting, etc.). The handles on these knives come with either black, marble, or blonde buffalo horn. We cannot take specific requests, but feel free to check with us about what we have in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are great for beginners and for professionals looking for a great, functional work knife.  We hope you enjoy this line from Gesshin Uraku. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yanagiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White #2 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Ho Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.39mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 245mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.28mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.47mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.89mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.68mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.03mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 133g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamawaki Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7073464005,"sku":"GUR240JYW2OSR","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/resized_fu9a5009.jpeg?v=1444801474"},{"product_id":"gesshin-hide-blue-1-phoenix-300mm-yanagiba-and-240mm-deba-set","title":"Gesshin Hide Blue #1 Phoenix 300mm Yanagiba and 210mm Deba Set","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-description\" class=\"active\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-description\" class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the skilled craftsmen, Yamamoto Hideaki and Yamamoto Shinichiro, we are proud to introduce Gesshin Hide.  These knives represent the best of Sakai Uchihamono.  From the first time I sharpened one of these knives in 2010, I knew how amazing they were.  With a combination of great steel and amazing grinding, shaping, and sharpening work, these knives are easily among the best single bevel knives I have used.

id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high speed knife is one of a kind knife.  The maker of the Jin knives was born in Tokyo before World War II and began making knives early on in his life.  We met with him some years ago, during our first business trip to Japan.  After a very nice meeting with him, we were lucky enough to be allowed to carry his knives.  At the time we met him, he was already retired, so his knives are all new old stock (unused and new, but produced years ago).  Sadly, this craftsman passed away at the end of 2015.  He was a dear friend and is sincerely missed.  He is survived by his son, who, while also a craftsman, does not make knives.  As he is no longer producing knives, the inventory is EXTREMELY LIMITED.  Once things are gone, they are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had been working as a knife maker since his early 20's (before WWII) and has developed a unique philosophy about his knives.  He chose to use high speed steel because he liked its qualities... extremely durable, takes a great edge, easy to sharpen, and has great edge holding.  The cost of his materials was extremely high, but he cared only about producing the best knives he could.  He completed each knife entirely in-house, including the making of the knife, the handle, the saya, etc.  He even built most of the machinery in his workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like his knives because they are so unique, and combine wonderful performance with great artistry and craftsmanship.  No other knife maker in Japan that we know of has such a long history of working with High Speed Steel, and no other kitchen knives we know of use the same steel.  We also think the design of his knives are very interesting... especially the metal ferrule.  I've used some of his knives over the last few years, and am constantly impressed with the edge retention and durability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will notice that in between the softer carbon steel and harder High Speed Steel cutting edge, there is a tiny bit of copper.  This was a method of cladding that was used long ago in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe refinish, polish, and sharpen each one of these before shipping them out.  This includes refinishing the handle and saya, cleaning up and polishing the blade, and sharpening the knife.  Because they were made a long time ago, we want to make sure that they are in the best condition they can be in by the time they make it to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli

met with him some years ago, during our first business trip to Japan.  After a very nice meeting with him, we were lucky enough to be allowed to carry his knives.  At the time we met him, he was already retired, so his knives are all new old stock (unused and new, but produced years ago).  Sadly, this craftsman passed away at the end of 2015.  He was a dear friend and is sincerely missed.  He is survived by his son, who, while also a craftsman, does not make knives.  As he is no longer producing knives, the inventory is EXTREMELY LIMITED.  Once things are gone, they are

extremely high, but he cared only about producing the best knives he could.  He completed each knife entirely in-house, including the making of the knife, the handle, the saya, etc.  He even built

met with him some years ago, during our first business trip to Japan.  After a very nice meeting with him, we were lucky enough to be allowed to carry his knives.  At the time we met him, he was already retired, so his knives are all new old stock (unused and new, but produced years ago).  Sadly, this craftsman passed away at the end of 2015.  He was a dear friend and is sincerely missed.  He is survived by his son, who, while also a craftsman, does not make knives.  As he is no longer producing knives, the inventory is EXTREMELY LIMITED.  Once things are gone, they are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had been working as a knife maker since his early 20's (before WWII) and has developed a unique philosophy about his knives.  He chose to use high speed steel because he liked its qualities... extremely durable, takes a great edge, easy to sharpen, and has great edge holding.  The cost of his materials was extremely high, but he cared only about producing the best knives he could.  He completed each knife entirely in-house, including the making of the knife, the handle, the saya, etc.  He even built most of the machinery in his workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like his knives because they are so unique, and combine wonderful performance with great artistry and craftsmanship.  No other knife maker in Japan that we know of has such a long history of working with High Speed Steel, and no other kitchen knives we know of use the same steel.  We also think the design of his knives are very interesting... especially the metal ferrule.  I've used some of his knives over the last few years, and am constantly impressed with the edge retention and durability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will notice that in
