This Yoshihiro JOUSAKU Yanagiba 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. It is designed as a left-handed single-bevel knife with a fully reversed blade geometry compared to standard right-handed models.
White Steel #2 is highly valued for its fine grain structure and ability to achieve extremely sharp edges, making it ideal for chefs who prioritize cutting precision in raw fish preparation.
Left-handed Yanagiba knives require specialized forging and sharpening processes due to their reversed geometry, resulting in lower production volume and higher craftsmanship requirements. This makes them significantly rarer and typically priced 30–50% higher than standard right-handed versions.
Compared to Blue Steel, White Steel offers superior sharpness potential and easier sharpening, making it a preferred choice for chefs who prioritize precision over long-term edge retention.
