Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Limited, Solid VG-10 Special Order Made FSO-85 Kiritsuke Yanagiba 300mm (11.8 Inch, Perfectly Mirror Polished)

Our JCK Original Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan brand of Japanese traditional-style knives are hand forged and hand sharpened by top-ranking forge-smiths, sharpeners and craftsmen in Sakai City, Osaka.

They take exceptional care to ensure that every single detail of their knives is correct, from the initial forging to the final sharpening, the fit and finish of these knives is outstanding.

This is the special order made Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Limited Model, VG-10 Kiritsuke Yanagiba 300mm and available with limited quantity.

VG-10 blade has strong corrosion-resistance and can provide very good edge sharpness and edge retention.

This knife comes with a comfortable octagonal magnolia wood handle with black water buffalo horn ferrule / bolster, and includes a matching magnolia wood Saya (“Sheath”) -with black pakkawood saya pin- for safekeeping.

The Kirisuke Yanagiba has a very similar blade profile to the ‘regular’ Yanagiba, but it has what is commonly known as a ‘reverse tanto’ tip, or ‘clipped point’, which is very useful for precision cutting. Apart from this difference, the Kirisuke Yanagiba functions in the same way as the ‘plain’ Yanagiba or the Takohiki. This is the Special Order Made Kiritsuke Yanagiba from our loyal customer.

Important

• Please do not put the knife in the dishwasher machine for cleaning.
• Please do not leave the knife in water or wet condition for long time.
• After using, please hand wash the blade, bolster and handle thoroughly, and wipe it clean and dry with soft clothes, and keep it in dry place.
• This is an extremely sharp knife. Please use special cares in using and storing it.
• Unlike German made knives, Japanese knife blades are ground to thin cutting edge for sharper cutting and easier re-sharpening. Please protect the edge from hitting hard materials to avoid chipping or cracking.

• We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.
