Jason has spent over two decades crafting and teaching metalsmithing and glassblowing, and it is the latter he credits for many of his head-turning damascus patterns. During his tenure teaching at the Maine College of Art, his work was published in more than 20 international books. When a talented culinary knifemaker like Arizona's Don Nguyen ends up with a piece of Jason's storied steel, no ordinary build will do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor this project, Don chose a form for which he holds both deep experience and great respect: the sushi chef's yanagiba. This high-precision, single-bevel tool demands the utmost care to create, and Don holds nothing back. The 228mm \/ 9\" blade delivers a primary bevel on the right face with a concave ura on the left, the configuration required of a right-handed chef. Meticulously honed and refined at every point, from the razor-sharp near-zero edge to the paper-thin needle-like tip, the blade is designed for a singular purpose: slicing the most coveted ingredients with the least possible disturbance to their cellular structure. Equally suited to the home butcher block and the omakase kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor unwavering control, a handle equally as considered. Black paper micarta, carbon fiber, and shredded carbon fiber infused with brass come together in a faceted, shield-style wa form, secured by flush brass pins and completed at the rear with a stainless retention bolt that allows the handle to be removed for care or maintenance. Comfortable, balanced, and natural in the hand, the Perpetual Motion Yanagiba is not easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Nguyen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54526808686867,"sku":"DNG-HCK4-MO","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/slicer-sujihiki-don-nguyen-arizona-perpetual-motion-yanagiba-228mm-47956805714195.jpg?v=1731665137","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/perpetual-motion-yanagiba-228mm-mo","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
