Yauji Yoshihiro Blue #2 Damascus Sakimaru Yanagiba 330mm location-takefu-knife-village Kiri means mist in Japanese

Kiri means mist in Japanese and this is perfectly portrayed by the damascus stainless cladding that protects the VG10 core steel

The polished hairline migaki cladding finish running into to a lovely hazy kasumi also looks incredible when a patina has developed on the White #2 core steel

we think it would be perfect on a nicely polished or nigaki finished knife but it's a statement piece no matter what blade you choose for it

An utterly spectacular gyuto from Nigara Hamono's famous Blue #2 Rainbow Damascus line

A fabulously finished gyuto from of Japan's rising stars and top level sharpeners
