Specification Brand : Yoshihiro BulletPoint1 : Blade Material: Blue Steel #2 Core / Edge Angle: Double Edged / Grade: Kurouchi Stainless Clad / Handle Shape: Octagonal / Handle Material: Ebony wood / HRC: 62-63 / Knife Style: Santoku Chef Knife & Petty / Saya Cover: Optional Magnolia Wood Cover / Stain Resistant: Yes, except along the knife’s edge / Made in Japan BulletPoint2 : Kurouchi translates as “Black-Forged” and this unique style of forging offers a characteristic look and an unpolished rustic aesthetic finish to the blade. With a HRC of 62-63, the core of Blue Steel #2 is prized for its high edge retention and provides an extremely sharp edge that is able to maintain its sharpness over extended period of time. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding allows the blade to be more forgiving to moisture while still having superior edge retention and sharpness intact. BulletPoint3 : Our Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives are clad in 2 layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel that provides durability and protection without sacrificing its sharp cutting edge. Traditional Kurouchi knives will always be made out of highly reactive carbon steel but this knife is exceptional in that the Kurouchi finish is on the Stainless Cladding which is a new development in modern metallurgy and is highly rare and difficult to forge. BulletPoint4 : Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife set is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art. BulletPoint5 : Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained. Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation along the knife's edge. BulletPoint6 : Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools such as a high quality chef’s knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer’s market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
