We went to Bergendals Manor, which offered herring and potatoes, followed by rutabaga mash and pork. As we recall, the culinary experience was somewhat divided among the gentlemen, but Yauji seemed to appreciate our Swedish classics. At that time, Yauji worked as a smith for master Okada in Takefu. Since 2019, he has been forging knives independently, and his creations are truly impressive. These blades are so delicate that it's a pure joy to slice potatoes. The weight is in the medium segment and the blade is very thin. The finish is really good and the grind is perfectly even. We cannot point to anything that isn't superb. They cost a bit, but when you hold this knife in your hand, the price will not be questioned. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop quality for connoisseurs!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Yauji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775372697948,"sku":"YAU-Ginga-BU","price":325.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/ginga-yauji-bunka.jpg?v=1780314449","url":"https:\/\/stage.cleancut.eu\/products\/yauji-yoshihiro-bunka-180mm","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
