Information
Masahiro Bessen (Yellow Series)
"The holy trinity of the Japanese kitchen"
Masahiro Bessen is the series for the purist. These knives are crafted the "old way" using traditional Carbon Steel (Ki-gami No.2). Unlike modern stainless knives, these blades will develop a patina over time. In return, you get extreme hardness (HRC 61-63) and a level of sharpness that is hard to match with any other steel.
📦 This set includes:
- 1. Yanagiba (21 cm): The long, slender "sashimi knife". Designed to slice raw fish in one long, continuous stroke without damaging the cell structure.
- 2. Deba (15 cm): The heavy "cleaver". A thick and robust knife used for filleting whole fish, cutting through fish bones, and rough butchery.
- 3. Usuba (16.5 cm): The vegetable knife. A thin, rectangular blade used for cutting vegetables with extreme precision (e.g., Katsuramuki technique).
⚔️ True Carbon Steel
Forged in Ki-gami No.2 (Yellow Paper Steel). This steel is known for its ability to become "scary sharp" and is easy to resharpen. Note: The knife must be dried immediately after use to avoid rust.
🌳 Magnolia Wood
The handle is made of untreated Magnolia wood with a reinforcing plastic ferrule. The traditional D-shape (or oval) provides a superb grip, even with wet hands.
This is the set for those who want to master Japanese cuisine the authentic way. A fantastic gift for the culinary enthusiast!
