Exotic: Genkai Masakuni (玄海正國) Mizu-Honyaki Mt. Fuji Yanagiba 330mm
Genkai Masakuni (玄海正國) Mizu-Honyaki White #2 Mt. Fuji Yanagiba 330mm
From the revered hands of Genkai Masakuni comes this exceptional Mizu-Honyaki Yanagiba, forged in White #2 steel and stretching to an imposing 330mm.
This knife embodies both artistry and symbolism. The blade face features the iconic Mt. Fuji hamon, while the ura side reveals a delicate crescent moon motif—a pairing that evokes the harmony of nature and mastery of the forge.
Beyond its visual beauty, this yanagiba showcases an extraordinary full mirror polish, executed to the highest standard. Such polish not only accentuates the hamon in breathtaking clarity, but also reflects the dedication and precision required to complete a honyaki of this length.
The piece is housed in a custom ebony friction-fit saya (not made by K&S), offering both elegance and protection. The saya grips firmly without a pin, completing the presentation of this rare work.
At 330mm, it is not just a tool but a statement—an expression of refinement that only a handful of smiths in Japan could ever achieve. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, this yanagiba represents the pinnacle of honyaki craftsmanship.
This is a consignment by a famous Sydney Japanese Chef, K&S guarantees authenticity and will handle secure shipping for this one-of-a-kind blade.

Talking about Honyaki kitchen knives from Japan, we always think about the beautiful wave-pattern hamon. I have plenty of those waiting to be listed, but I want to introduce you this beautiful mizu-honyaki blade as my first Honyaki knife here at Knives and Stones: the magnificant "Moonnight Fuji mountain", which is named after its painting like hamon line featuring the famous Fuji-mountain. The K&S Special edition comes with an elegant K&S Ringed Gidgee triple spacer handle with blonde / cream buffalo horn handle and a matching black hardwood saya.
As far as I know, there are only two masters in Japan that can forge this type of hamon, and one of them is "Genkai".
This is one of the finest Japanese honyaki kitchen knives that you can possibly buy, I absoutely LOVE his work, and I want to share them with you.
