The Japanese word "Ko" means “small” or “short” in English, and the Ko-yanagi is a small Yanagiba¥ that is commonly used to fillet and slice small fish, particularly Aji (Japanese horse mackerel). The Ko-yanagi is useful knife for home cooks that prefer to clean and fillet the smaller sizes of fish themselves.

Shirogami No.2 has minimal impurities and a very fine grain structure, so it is ideal for fine cutting tools such as Japanese traditional-style knives. Despite being a ‘simple’ carbon steel, Shirogami No.2 has very good edge retention and it is also very easy to re-sharpen. Recommended for first-time users of Japanese traditional-style knives.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

Lovely knife to add to your arsenal but you must take care with this steel as its prone to rust easily as long as you keep it clean and oiled it should be alright and it didn't come with much of an edge but was easily sharpened regardless. took me about 40 mins using just 1000-5000 gritt, the 400 gritt with the 1000-5000 would have been quicker, but regardless, it's a nice knife once you get a proper edge on it

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
