Custom Limited Edition, Sukenari Gingami No.3 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba 330mm (12.9 inch, SCL-536)

Availability: Normally ships within 1 to 6 days


This Sukenari Gingami No.3 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba 330mm is a Custom Limited Edition, one-of-a-kind knife.

Sukenari’s highly skilled and experienced forge smiths use the same time-consuming manual production processes and traditional forging techniques to create this artistic, professional-quality Gingami No.3 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba knife.

Sukenari selected Gingami No.3 stainless steel as the core blade steel because, in addition to being very corrosion-resistant, this high performance cutlery steel offers edge sharpness and edge retention comparable to high carbon steel knives.

This hand crafted, forged Gingami No.3 Nickel Damascus knife has been heat treated to HRc 62 and beautifully mirror polished.

The special mirror-polishing and finishing processes create a high contrast Damascus pattern, with alternating layers of shiny stainless steel and white-colored nickel steel.

This high-grade Japanese traditional-style knife is beautifully hand sharpened using a complex hand sharpening process that uses water-cooled grinding wheels. This is one of the most important handcrafting processes, as it allows Sukenari to make knives that possess excellent blade geometry and cutting performance.

To add some next-generation, futuristic style, we decided to match the artistic Gingami No.3 Nickel Damascus Blade with an Innovative Octagonal Desert Ironwood Handle with Nickel Silver Spacers and a Turquoise Composite Stone Ferrule & Butt.  A matching Black Lacquered wood Saya (Sheath) with a black pakkawood Saya pin is also included with the knife. 

Yanagiba knives are primarily used to slice boneless fish fillets for Sashimi and Sushi dishes, but they can also be used to fillet small to medium-sized fish and are often used for skinning fish. The narrow blade and relatively acute edge angle of the Yanagiba are features which greatly reduce the effort required to cut through ingredients. As with the Sujihiki, the long blade allows the fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip. 

The combination of cutting technique, acute blade angle, and sharp edge result in very little cellular damage in the cut surface. This is particularly important for dishes where the fish is eaten raw, because it helps to preserve the original flavor and texture of the fish.
