{"product_id":"hatsukokoro-x-shimizu-ginsan-damascus-k-tip-yanagiba-330mm","title":"Hatsukokoro x Shimizu Ginsan Damascus K-tip Oozori Yanagiba 330mm","description":"Experience the pinnacle of sashimi preparation with the Hatsukokoro x Shimizu Ginsan Damascus K-tip Yanagiba 330mm, a masterfully crafted Japanese kitchen knife. This exceptional single-bevel blade, forged from premium Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel, offers the sharpness and feel of traditional carbon steel with superior corrosion resistance, making it an easy-to-maintain tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike.\n\nThe defining feature of this Japanese kitchen knife is its pronounced Sori (curvature) along the spine, inspired by Katana design. This unique profile excels in deep, long slicing tasks through large proteins, a technique often showcased in the opening of an Omakase course. The K-tip (Kiritsuke) geometry is distinctly defined, enhancing precision and making this Yanagiba a true attention-grabber.\n\nFinished with a uniform brushed (Migaki) polish across the Hira, bevel, and Urasuki, the execution reflects the skill of sharpener Masaya Shimizu. The smooth Damascus cladding accentuates the blade's elegant lines, while the octagonal ebony handle with a black buffalo horn ferrule provides a classic, secure grip. At 330mm with a 37mm heel height, this Japanese kitchen knife is built for flawless, single-stroke slices of raw fish and seafood, embodying the artistry essential for any serious sushi chef.","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47775096373469,"sku":"HST-SMZ-GIN3DM-KYAN330","price":699.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3971.jpg?v=1775801500","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/hatsukokoro-x-shimizu-ginsan-damascus-k-tip-yanagiba-330mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
