The basic kitchen knife, which is intended for use by professional sushi masters – Ittoutan Shirogami Yanagiba – has a 270 mm blade. It is long and narrow, which makes it perfect for precise work when slicing or cutting. The Ittoutan Shirogami knife collection perfectly reflects the beauty of the Japanese, traditional style and is characterized by very high quality. It includes single-edged knives used to prepare classic dishes from the Land of the Rising Sun, namely sashimi and sushi. The three-layer blades are incredibly hard, which is due to the hardening process used. As a result, the hardness reaches 62-63 HRC. When it comes to the core of Tojiro Shirogami#3 knives, it is made of strong carbon steel. Called Shirogami#3 (also White Steel no.3), it is characterized by high hardness. The outer layer of the blade, on the other hand, is made of soft steel – thus it is very strong and durable, and users can enjoy the excellent cutting properties of knives from this series. The handle is made of HO wood from Japan. It also has a beautiful finish in the form of a ferrule. Each knife is hand-forged and finished. You just need to remember that due to the lack of stainless features, these knives require proper care.
