About Yoshihiro Damascus Blue High Carbon Steel 1
Our handmade Yoshihiro Blue Steel Suminagashi knives are crafted with extraordinary skill by our master artisans. Exemplifying the most intricate techniques of forging, layering, and hammering, Aoko Blue Steel 1 with a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 64-65, is forged with iron to create the most elaborate of finishes. Suminagashi translates as floating ink and refers to the beautiful marbled wave like patterns that extend through the blade from the tip to the heel, unveiling a new mosaic with every sharpening. Only the most skilled of artisans can forge together these metals in such complex puzzle piece formations to fashion knives of this caliber with the highest quality, blending aesthetics and performance. Our Yoshihiro Blue Steel 1 Suminagashi knives are complimented with a traditional Japanese style handcrafted Premium Ebony tree wooden handle affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, and a protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included. The Sakimaru Takobiki is a long slicing knife that was designed to slice paper thin slices of fish for Sashimi and its round sharp tip is useful for cutting the long tentacles of the octopus. The beauty of its elegant thin blade is its ability to slice through an ingredient in long uninterrupted strokes, preserving its integrity and freshness. The Takobiki is longer and thinner than a Yanagi and is unique tool for preparing delicate ingredients. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. Although traditional Japanese carbon steel knives are not stainless, with proper care they can provide years of enjoyment. Keeping dry in between usage, and applying Tsubaki Oil(as included) before storage will keep your knife in tip top shape. Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones.
