Description of 7 Inch Yoshihiro Left Handed Kasumi White Steel Edosaki Eel Filet Knife For Precise Fish Filleting
Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are crafted by our master artisans with the utmost care to create high quality knives that offer exceptional performance with exceptional value. White Steel #2 with a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 62-63, is forged with iron to create beautiful mist patterns called Kasumi. The Edosaki knife was made specifically to filet eel. Its blade was designed to filet from the back to the front and it has a short beveled handle to fit securely in the palm of the hand during slippery conditions. The Edosaki is incomparable for delicately fileting and bring out the sumptuous flavors of eel for exquisite service. Even the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. Handcrafted in Japan with traditional techniques, our Edosaki has a completely flat grind on the front side (Shinogi), a concave grind (Urasuki), and a flat rim (Uraoshi) on the back. The combination of the Urasuki and Shinogi allow for the blade to cut food with minimal damage to the surface and cells, therefore not spoiling the texture and taste. The Uraoshi is the thin, flat rim that surrounds the Urasuki and enhances the strength of the blade at its otherwise vulnerable edges. Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Round Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art. Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained. Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation.
