Maldonado Knife's Yanagiba Saikamaru – Japanese Precision, Fiery Soul
This unique piece is a 33cm Saikamaru Yanagiba, designed exclusively for right-handed users and forged from Damascus steel with a Firestorm pattern, where the lines of the steel evoke the hypnotic movement of a dancing flame. The long, slender blade is designed to make precise, single-stroke cuts, as required by Japanese tradition in the preparation of sushi and sashimi.
The handle, hand-turned from desert ironwood , offers a perfect balance of density, strength, and natural elegance. Its deep, dark grain contrasts with a decorative pin that acts as a craft seal, making it clear that this is not just any tool, but a collector's item designed to last a lifetime.
Forged with the philosophy of functional simplicity and respect for detail, this Yanagiba is both a precision tool and a statement of character.
