A single edge Blue 2 carbon steel knife. The highest quality knife by Itsuo Doi the 1st class craftsmen in Sakai Osaka. Sharpened by Naohito Myojin whose sharpening style that combines appearance, stability, and practicality.
Blacksmith : Itsuo Doi
Sharpener : Naohito Myojin
This is a Damascus Yanagiba knife meticulously crafted by master blacksmith Itsuo Doi. The graceful Damascus pattern, paired with the elegantly gleaming edge, creates a striking contrast that embodies both refinement and strength.
Forged from Blue Steel No. 2 — a steel Doi is renowned for mastering — the blade offers an exceptional balance between beauty and performance. The intricate Damascus layers highlight its artistry, while the razor-sharp edge ensures precise, effortless slicing.
Despite its elegant appearance, the knife carries Doi’s signature sense of weight and presence. His Blue #2 forging provides remarkable toughness and superior edge retention, making it a highly practical choice for professional kitchens as well as discerning home chefs.
The blade has been sharpened by Naohito Myojin, one of Japan’s most respected sharpeners. Known primarily for his double-bevel work, and considering his current workload, this piece will likely be the last single-bevel knife he handles — making it an especially rare example of his craft. The edge bears his hallmark precision and beauty, with the choil carefully polished to perfection.
The handle is made of fine rosewood and fitted with a buffalo horn ferrule, combining elegance with durability for a sophisticated finish.
A masterpiece that blends tradition, artistry, and practicality — this Yanagiba is not only a tool, but a collector’s piece to be cherished for generations.
