A great knife is defined by several factors, including the steel quality, edge grinds, comfortable handles, good fit and finish, and attractive packaging. Our latest product line excels in all of these areas, making it stand out from the average knives in the market.
Crafted from high-quality Ginsan stainless steel, our knives offer exceptional performance and durability. The finish, known as nashiji or "pear skin," gives the knife a unique and eye-catching appearance. Our photos speak for themselves - this knife is truly stunning.
But it's not just the appearance that sets our knives apart. We pay attention to every detail, from the hand-engraved designs by our skilled artisan, Akane san, to the beautiful calligraphy on the Yahiko logo on the box. The result is a knife that not only performs exceptionally but also looks and feels like a work of art.Knife Line: Yahiko

I’ve owned this knife for 4 years. I acquired the 240mm and it is the best culinary purchase I’ve made. There were some issues (on my part) with shipping, and Susan Brown worked with me to recieve my shipment back 22’. The customer service here is IMPECCABLE!
The knife came razor sharp, literally, and I love the fit and finish. This knife punches WELL above its weight class and is one of the best value purchases on the site, in my humble opinion. As beautiful as this knife looks on video, it’s even better in person. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent knife! Yahiko Ginsan 210 Kirisuke Posted By: Bill B

Excellent value Kirisuke ! I wanted a 210 Kiri to fill in the size gap between my 180 Bunkas and 240 Konosuke Fujiyama and HD Kirisukes and the Yahiko is a great size for an all around blade . The quality of the knife is excellent . As Mark mentioned to me the Yahiko brand has the handle installed , engraved, QC and finished at Konosukes shop before it is shipped . The Ginsan steel blade sharpens easily like carbon steel and holds a screaming sharp edge and the Kiri tanto tip is great for detail work . Definitely a top quality “ bang for the buck “ knife
