Yamashin Blue #2 Nashiji

Kaki San forges the Yamashin Blue #2 line in Tosa, Japan - a region with a centuries-old working knife tradition. Blue #2 carbon steel with a kasumi (hazy) finish across multiple knife formats at prices that make serious carbon steel accessible for line cooks and home cooks alike. Good heat treatment, honest grinds, and the kind of practical durability that earns loyal repeat customers.
