Yasuhiro Yauji, working from the blacksmith-rich Takefu Village, is praised for his creation of superior knives utilizing Blue #2 steel and damascus cladding. His Kiritsuke stands out in his collection, being about 1mm thinner than most, demonstrating his masterful artistry through its lightness and accuracy. A carefully fashioned taper culminates in a remarkably thin tip, ideal for precise cutting requirements. The knife's allure is further amplified by its stunning damascus cladding.
