Yoshihiro JOUSAKU Fuguhiki – Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2) Hongasumi Finish Japanese Fugu Sashimi Knife

This Yoshihiro JOUSAKU Fuguhiki is crafted from Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2), a high-purity Japanese carbon steel widely used in professional kitchen knives. It is known for its exceptional sharpness and ease of sharpening, allowing extremely precise edge refinement for delicate sashimi preparation.

White Steel #2 is highly valued for its fine grain structure and ability to achieve extremely sharp edges, making it ideal for chefs who require absolute precision in raw fish slicing.

The Fuguhiki is a specialized Japanese sashimi knife designed specifically for slicing fugu (puffer fish) into extremely thin, translucent pieces. It features a narrower and thinner blade compared to a Yanagiba, allowing for cleaner, more delicate slicing with minimal resistance.

It is a right-handed single-bevel knife designed for professional use. The handle is made from Magnolia wood with a Buffalo horn bolster, providing durability and a stable, traditional Japanese balance.

Compared to Blue Steel, White Steel offers superior sharpness potential and easier sharpening, making it preferred by chefs who prioritize precision and ultra-thin slicing performance.
