This Tojiro Shirogami 270mm Yanagiba is ideal for those who are looking for a good quality knife at an excellent price. The 270mm yanagi is the most popular size for this style of knife. The blade is constructed with a core of White #2 steel (also called Shirogami and White Paper 2 steel) sandwiched between a softer iron outer layer. White #2 steel will take a screaming sharp edge and well. These knives are traditionally single bevel and used primarily to slice raw fish, but many use these as standard slicing knives. The blade is attached to a ho wood handle and water resistant resin ferrule. Please note the handles on these are installed with a gapped machi and it's called "Tokyo Style". It's supposed to harken back to the Katana and it represents the place where a Tsuba (hilt) would be installed on a sword. See photo #4 to see it. It's not a mistake.

    Sharp right out the box! Thin blade and pretty light weight over all balanced well.

      Paying for the blade

    Wa Handle: There is a step down to the plastic Ferulle which I found annoying. I sanded the Handle smooth to eliminate the step stained and varnished it to greatly improve the feel.
    Blade: From the Shinogi line to edge bevel the steel in unfinished. It will take quite a bit of time on a 400 grit stone to flatten it smooth. The Ura backside hollow grind is fine as it is.
    The white
