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.

Aogami-Super Carbon Steel | Blue Super Steel
Aogami-Super (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is one of the greatest Japanese Carbon Steels. In addition to containing more Carbon, Chromium and Tungsten than Blue Steel No.1, it also includes Molybdenum. It has very good edge sharpness and excellent edge retention, but is also capable of attaining high hardness without being brittle. Consequently, many knife enthusiasts rate Aogami Super as one of the very best High Carbon Steels in the world.

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.

It bites!

Hard to sharpen, But if you do this well it bites immediatly into the outer skin when you proof the blades edge with the side of your thumb.

Solid Knife

I wanted a smaller knife for paring and this does exactly what I needed. It's hard to make a fuss, because its bigger brother stole the show. But a privilege to own one, all the same.

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.
