Description

Knife Features → Blade Material: VG-10 Stainless Steel →Edge Angle: Double Edged →Grade: VG-10 Gold →Handle Shape: Western →Handle Material: Black Pakkawood →HRC: 60 →Knife Style: Gyuto Chef Knife→Stain Resistant: Yes Our handcrafted Yoshihiro Gold Steel knives have an inner core made of VG-10 stainless steel sandwiched in the traditional method of Wari Komi between two layers of stainless steel. With a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 60, the inner core of VG-10 is prized for its high edge retention with a stainless steel exterior that is non-corrosive and requires low maintenance. The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chefs knife known as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables. Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife is complimented with a premium Western Style Handle that extends to the full tang of the knife 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. Excellent for both home chefs and professional chefs. 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.

  • Great Utility Knife
Wow, is this knife sharp!!! It has great balance in my hand, is so sharp that it rarely slips while cutting and paring, and to me this length makes it a perfect utility knife. I currently have Henckels, Wustorf, Shun, and Yoshihiro knives; and my Yoshihiros are my absolute favorites. They hold their incredibly sharp edges amazingly well, and the look of them is stunning. I am a recent convert to Japanese knives,and these Yoshihiros give amazing value for the price. Just make sure these are hand washed and immediately dried so they last. ... show more

  • The Best Chef Knife that I have Ever Used
Size: 8.5"
To begin with, I've used Western knife brands like Henckle's, and I've also used Asian brands like Shun. For the price I can say that this knife holds up to the same cutting quality that both brands carry. The knife itself carries a very nice and light blade with a folded steel finish- very appealing! The knife is built my hand and the Yoshihiro brand name is etched in by hand, giving it a unique look. The handle, despite it being wood, has a good amount of weight and feels very sturdy in your hand. It will cut anything from vegetables to meat with very little effort. I'd like to keep this review sweet and short. It's a nice knife that you have to use and feel before you can appreciate it. Yoshihiro has set a standard that even $400 knives don't hold up to. For the $100 price tag, you won't find better unless you want to get it custom made. ... show more

  • One of the best knives I've ever purchased
One of the best knives I've ever purchased. I don't often write reviews and don't plan on being lengthy here, but I am a professional Chef constantly looking for a knife that can hold it's edge and stand up to my daily routine in the restaurant. This is that knife. It sees at least 5 hours of vegetable prep every morning and retains one of the sharpest edges with just a little whetstone lovin' every few days. Highly recommend this knife, if not for the edge and comfort than for the fact that it is also one of the most beautiful pieces of steel I own. The Gold Steel shines bright and always gets three of four Ooh's and Ahh's from co-workers asking to look at my new blade. You won't be disappointed with this product. ... show more

  • Great knife for home cooks
Size: 8.5"
Bought this knife for general home cook prep work and filleting fish. Very light and sharp. However, the tip is rather round oppose to a sharp tip that I was hopping for. Overall, liking this knife and hope it can last a life time!!

  • The Best Knife I ever used
Your really have to use a knife like this just to get an idea of what superior cutting is like. The knife is surprising light but it doesn't feel slight or cheap. You know you have quality in your hand. As soon as I got it I wanted to try it out. I pulled some celery out of the fridge and the knife cut through it like it wasn't there. I very quickly cut some very thin julienne slices. Then minced the julienne. I prefer to refer to this not as a knife, but as a food processor. I don't know why I waited so long to get one. I have a nephew that is a sushi chef, he suggested I get a rust eraser and a King 1000/6000 grit whetstone. These Usuba knives are sharpened very different due to having one flat side. If I lost it, I'd buy 2 to replace it. ... show more

  • This is my "go to" preparation knife when cooking.
I've been using this knife for months now, and it's still the first knife I go to when prepping my meals. This knife has a comfortable, balanced grip and feel. It's extremely sharp, has an in-between weight (not too light & flimsy, and not too heavy & bulky) which I prefer. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it. Hand wash it keeping the blade clean, and wipe it dry after every use, this is a tool, take good care of it, just be very careful not to slice your fingers while chopping... ;) ... show more

  • I use this everyday and love it.
Beautifully made knife perfect for small to medium vegetables. Lightweight so you can pare with it with ease as well. Good quality steel for the price. I paid 60$. I have two shun knives that are great but this is my go to knife for most prep work. I am an ex fine dining chef so I have handled many knives over the years. This is not to be used with cutting/chopping bones as this would damage the blade. The fit and finish are well done and perfect for me. I will be getting more Yoshihiro knives. ... show more
