The Unsui Yanagi-bocho is the only tool to prepare your own fresh sashimi. A defining characteristic this famous Japanese knife is that the blade has an edge on one side only, allowing for a greater pitch that ultimately translates to finer slices of fresh fish (or meat). The unique hammertone pattern on our Unsui collection was designed to serve the purpose of allowing food being cut to slide easily off the knifes surface. The exquisite beauty of Echizen Japanese washi paper also inspired the pattern. In addition, at a micro level, the mix of molecules becomes more compact after the hammering process giving the knife its strength, sharpness and longevity. The completely handcrafted construction of this knife follows similar techniques when forging a traditional Japanese samurai katana sword. Furthermore, the traditional wooden handle is also very comfortable to hold and work with for a right or left-handed individual. Unsui means flowing clouds and water a term to describe the dedicated spiritual training of Zen Buddhist monks. Each piece is a true work of art, each with its own unique character. The difference in quality and craftsmanship is quite evident. It will bring joy to the kitchen every time you look, feel and use this knife.
