Trade in yanagi in excellent condition without original packaging but with saya. This stainless steel blade shows very little, if any, signs of us. There are no indications of any wide bevel sharpening work and the ura looks mostly untouched. We have touched up the micro-bevel to make it ready to go. Handle is in good condition with some light staining on the lacquered portion of the handle; on the sides of the handle where the sparkle inclusions are.

Quality VG10 yanagi are hard to come by, with the majority of the market being lower quality heat treatments making for a stubborn knife when sharpening.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
