Its incredibly sharp blade enables the most accurate cuts, ensuring consistency and ease during food preparation.

The hammered texture of the blade further enhances its performance, reducing drag during cuts and making the knife even more efficient in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro Super Blue Steel Stainless Clad Hammered Gyuto Chefs Knife features a dual-layer stainless steel cladding that provides exceptional durability and protection without compromising its sharp cutting edge.

Preventive measures such as drying immediately after use, applying Tsubaki knife oil, and using rust erasers are essential to maintain its pristine condition.

Its incredibly sharp blade enables the most accurate cuts, ensuring consistency and ease during food preparation. Moreover, the knife's ability to maintain its performance over time is enhanced by its high wear resistance, making it a reliable choice for daily use. The hammered texture of the blade further enhances its performance, reducing drag during cuts and making the knife even more efficient in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro Super Blue Steel Stainless Clad Hammered Gyuto Chefs Knife features a dual-layer stainless steel cladding that provides exceptional durability and protection without compromising its sharp cutting edge. While the cladding helps reduce overall maintenance, the exposed Super Blue Steel edge is high-carbon and will naturally react with moisture, developing a patina or, if neglected, surface rust. Preventive measures such as drying immediately after use, applying Tsubaki knife oil, and using rust erasers are essential to maintain its pristine condition. This knife is recommended for professional use only if the user is not equipped to manage its maintenance and rust prevention needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife is further complemented by a Howlite white handle, designed for comfort and balance, accommodating both left and right-handed users.

Every Gintsuru Yanagi Kiritsuke is handcrafted in Japan by master artisans, blending tradition with modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGinsan steel represents a breakthrough in knife-making, merging high carbon steel with stain-resistant elements. With a Rockwell hardness of 63-64, this steel combines the qualities of traditional Japanese high-carbon knives with the practical benefits of stainless steel. The term Hongasumi, meaning \"true mist,\" refers to the beautiful mist-like patterns on the blade, created when Ginsan is forged with iron. This knife offers the performance of high-carbon steel with peace of mind in fast-paced environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi Kiritsuke is a long slicing knife designed to slice thin pieces of fish for sushi and sashimi. Its elegant thin blade allows for long, uninterrupted strokes that preserve the integrity and freshness of the ingredients. The Kiritsuke version of the Yanagi features a slightly heavier blade with a wider profile and thicker spine, making it suitable for chefs who need a Yanagi but have limited workspace. The sword tip helps balance the knife, making it versatile yet precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro Gintsuru knives are complemented by a traditional Japanese handcrafted premium stabilized maple burl handle with water buffalo horn bolster (color varies) and sterling triple ring, along with a protective wooden Saya cover for safe storage. Whether for sushi, sashimi, or delicate tasks, even the simplest culinary jobs are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is both beautiful and functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare \u0026amp; Sharpening: Traditional Japanese knife making emphasizes sharpness, requiring regular attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done exclusively with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately, especially after working with acidic ingredients. Use only on boneless fish flesh to maintain the blade's integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gintsuru Mirror Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ginsan Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stabilized maple Burl \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triple Ring Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003eMagnetic Oak Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"11.8\" (300mm)","offer_id":47658476994790,"sku":"GTYKMI300STBMO","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/GTYKMISTBMO_PT01.jpg?v=1778711818"},{"product_id":"yoshihiro-vg-10-46-layers-hammered-damascus-kknife-6pc-set-2-gyuto-petty-sujihiki-santoku-nakiri-with-octagonal-alternative-ivory-handle","title":"Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Kknife 6PC Set (2 Gyuto, Petty, Sujihiki, Santoku, Nakiri) with Octagonal Alternative Ivory Handle","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n    #specs {\n        padding: 15px;\n        border-radius: 10px;\n        box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n        margin-bottom: 20px;\n        max-width: 800px;\n        margin: auto;\n    }\n\n    #specs h2 {\n        text-align: center;\n        margin-bottom: 10px;\n        font-size: 1.5em;\n        font-weight: normal;\n        letter-spacing: 0.05em;\n        text-transform: uppercase;\n    }\n\n    ul {\n        list-style-type: none;\n        padding: 0;\n        margin: 0;\n    }\n\n    li {\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n        font-size: 1em;\n        padding: 6px;\n        margin-bottom: 2px;\n        word-wrap: break-word;\n    }\n\n    #specs strong {\n        flex: 0 0 auto;\n        min-width: 120px;\n        margin-right: 10px;\n    }\n\n    #specs span {\n        flex: 1;\n    }\n\n    #specs ul li:hover {\n        background-color: rgba(0, 123, 255, 0.1);\n        transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\n    }\n\n    @media (max-width: 768px) {\n        #specs {\n            padding: 10px;\n        }\n\n        #specs h2 {\n            font-size: 1.3em;\n        }\n\n        li {\n            font-size: 0.9em;\n            padding: 4px;\n        }\n\n        #specs strong {\n            min-width: 100px;\n            font-size: 0.9em;\n            margin-right: 8px;\n        }\n    }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"included-knives\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Gyuto 8.25\" (210mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Gyuto 9.5\" (240mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Petty 6\" (150mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Sujihiki 9.5\" (240mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Santoku 7\" (180mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e—Nakiri 6.5\" (165mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Knife Set is a premium Japanese collection handcrafted from 46 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a VG-10 stainless core.
