This Sukenari SRS-13 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba 330mm is a Custom Limited Edition, one-of-a-kind knife.
Sukenari’s highly skilled and experienced forge smith use the same time-consuming manual production processes and traditional forging techniques to create this artistic, professional-quality SRS-13 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba knife.
From Master Hanaki, Sukenari's experiment and testing, SRS-13 Powdered High Speed Tool Steel Blade makes very similar characteristics and cutting ability as the SG-II (R-2). Cutting performance, edge retention, practicality, good rust resistance for ease of maintenance and practicality, SRS-13 has good benefit and characteristics.
This hand crafted, forged SRS-13 Nickel Damascus knife has been heat treated to HRc 63 and beautifully mirror polished. Master Hanaki selects Damascus Steel including the Nickel material which makes vivid impact and powerful White Color Wavy Damascus layers.
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.
We decided to fit this new, futuristic generation of high-end SRS-13 Nickel Damascus Yanagiba knife with Custom Handmade Octagonal Handle (Resin body, Juma Dragon ferrule, Juma Snake collar and endcap with Nickel Silver and Blue Liner spacers). For safekeeping, this knife comes with a matching Black Lacquered Wooden Saya (Sheath) with a black pakkawood Saya pin.
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.
