Based in Takefu Village, a renowned hub for talented blacksmiths, Yasuhiro Yauji is celebrated for crafting high-quality knives using Blue #2 steel and Damascus cladding. His Kiritsuke, thinner by about 1mm than typical single-bevel knives, exemplifies his craft, offering lightness and precision. The meticulously designed taper leads to an ultra-thin tip, making it an excellent choice for precise slicing tasks. The beautiful Damascus cladding enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal.
