Hatsukokoro x Yoshihiro Yauji Blue 2 Damascus Yanagiba 240mm
$459.95
Imported directly from Japan.









This is an Ono Suzukaze nakiri, the tall Japanese vegetable knife in the Ono iteration of the look made famous by Shun's Fuji line.
It is forged in Seki, the cutlery town behind much of Japan's knife culture, and built around SG2 powdered stainless steel, a steel known for sharpness and edge retention, under sixty-nine layers of contrasting Damascus. A tsuchime hammered texture runs along the edge to keep food from clinging to it, and the tall flat profile rocks through herbs and vegetables with knuckle clearance to spare. The handle is the line's signature: a triangular western-wa shape in pakkawood, the balance of a wa handle with the confidence of a western one.
The source's care routine: wash with neutral detergent and wipe dry after use, never the dishwasher, keep it off long heat, and sharpen regularly on a waterstone. Stainless powder metal, so it forgives, but the flat edge hates bones.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
