This Yoshihiro JOUSAKU Sakimaru Takohiki is crafted from Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2), a high-purity Japanese carbon steel widely used in professional kitchen knives. It is known for its exceptional sharpness and ease of sharpening, allowing precise edge refinement for traditional sashimi preparation.

White Steel #2 is highly valued in professional environments for its fine grain structure and ability to achieve extremely sharp edges. It is especially favored by chefs who prioritize cutting performance and precision in raw fish preparation.

It is a right-handed single-bevel knife designed for professional use. The handle is made from Magnolia wood with a Buffalo horn bolster, providing durability and a stable, traditional Japanese balance.

Compared to Blue Steel, White Steel offers superior sharpness potential and easier sharpening, making it a preferred choice for chefs who focus on cutting precision rather than long-term edge retention.

*Definition of Blade Length: the Length from top edge of the blade(tip) to Root of the steel(Machi),not top edge of the blade(tip) to the end(Ago).
