Its 239mm blade is White 2 (Shirogami #2) carbon steel at 60–64 HRC, clad in soft iron with a nimai construction and a kasumi finish. Sharpened by Tateo Myojin and forged by Toru Tamura, the left-handed yanagiba has an octagonal ebony wa handle and weighs 175g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis yanagiba is shaped for slicing raw fish and seafood. The carbon steel core is straightforward to sharpen on waterstones, but it is reactive and needs immediate drying and regular oiling to prevent rust. The soft iron cladding supports the harder core and eases sharpening. The fit and finish are uniform across the blade, including the kissaki, and the line is noted as a budget-friendly option for those who value traditional carbon steel performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade measurements: heel height 32mm, spine thickness 3.0mm at the heel, 2.6mm midway, and 0.8mm near the tip. The ebony handle is octagonal with a subtle taper and a polished surface. This knife suits users comfortable with carbon steel care who want a well-finished yanagiba for sashimi work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myojin Riki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47895045210333,"sku":"HT-SRW2-YA240_LH","price":339.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_5009.jpg?v=1778207980","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/hatsukokoro-x-myojin-shirasagi-white-2-left-handed-yanagiba-240mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
