Misuzu White #2
Yanagiba 270mm Left Handed, Traditional, Custom. Our latest addition to the Misuzu collection: a premier blade featuring White #2 carbon steel. Boasting a hardness of 60-61 on the Rockwell scale, this knife offers slicing performance on par with some of the best yanagibas made in Japan.
The core steel's propensity for quick burr formation ensures superior performance and ease of sharpening. Celebrated as one of Misuzu's top-selling knives among their domestic clientele for over seven decades, this knife promises utility and a slice of craftsmanship history. Crafted by a dedicated family-owned shop in Miki, Japan, the knife excels at wafer-thin slices. Left-handed customers will be impressed with the left-handed grind of the blade and the comfortable octagonal custom handle.
