YUURAKU White Steel #2 Honesuki Maru – Sakai-made Shirogami Carbon Steel Professional Boning Knife
This YUURAKU Honesuki Maru is crafted in Sakai, Osaka by KISHI Cutlery, a manufacturer known for producing exceptionally thin and high-precision Japanese kitchen knives.
The blade is made from Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2), a high-purity Japanese Carbon Steel known for its outstanding sharpness, very fine grain structure, and ease of sharpening. It is widely favored by professional chefs who prioritize precise cutting performance and refined edge control.
White Steel #2 is often chosen for its ability to take an extremely fine edge, making it ideal for detailed and delicate kitchen work, while allowing quick and simple resharpening compared to alloyed steels.
The YUURAKU series is characterized by its ultra-thin blade geometry and convex grind, resulting in smooth cutting performance and excellent food release.
It features a Western-style handle made from reinforced laminated wood with bolster, providing durability, stability, and a secure professional grip.
Unlike many modern Stainless-focused knives, this model represents traditional Carbon Steel performance with maximum sharpness potential and minimal alloy interference.
