Experience the timeless elegance of the Kaisaki White steel #2 Kasumi Octagonal Yaki-Urushi Handle 135mm. Crafted from superior white steel and finished with an exquisite octagonal yaki-urushi handle, this knife is a reliable and beautiful addition to any kitchen. Enjoy master-crafted cutting performance and sophistication with every use.

This single blade is reminiscent of a smaller Yanagiba knife. In the early spring, many clam varieties, including short neck clams, hard clams, yellow clams, and egg cockles, are in season, providing you with a wide variety of textures and flavours to savour. Enjoying these delicacies, however, requires you to precisely remove their intestines, which is made easy with the Kaisaki knife. In addition to cleaning clams, the knife is ideal for peeling and carving vegetables and fruits and cleaning small fish like big-eye flatheads and sand borers. Its versatility turns the Kaisaki knife into a multifunctional companion for your kitchen.

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.

Traditional Kasumi polished finish. Kasumi roughly translated to “mist” or “cloud” and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge. This elegant finish is very common on traditional style Japanese blades.

The handles on these knives are Octagonal Oak wood dye Japanese Lacquer (Urushi) that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.

The coating film of Urushi exudes a warm sense of intimacy when in contact with the skin that can almost be likened to the touch of an infant’s skin. With antibacterial and disinfectant properties, it is also provides an exceptional sense of security. urushi is a totally natural lacquer, and with use develops a distinct, deeply refined luster and texture which cannot be reproduced with chemically developed coating materials. This naturally fosters strong feelings of attachment and deference.

Great knife, in a great size, at a great price

I got this knife to fill a gap in my collection: a razor-sharp paring knife, small enough for detail work, large enough to carve roast chickens/pork tenderloins/etc. And I love it.

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.
