Forged and sharpened by our skilled artisans, this exceptional knife boasts a hardness and edge retention that surpasses both White Steel #1 and #2, as well as Blue Steel #1 and #2. In the hands of an experienced chef, this remarkable tool will be a cherished companion in the kitchen for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meticulous craftsmanship transforms the steel into a world-class knife, offering outstanding sharpness and precision. 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\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\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 Aogami Super Stainless Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003eEbony Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003eAlternative Ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, except along the knife's edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Steel Super\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003eOptional - Lacquered Saya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"8.25\" (210mm) \/ No Cover","offer_id":47732092272870,"sku":"YASHAGY210IV","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.25\" (210mm) \/ With Saya Cover","offer_id":47732092305638,"sku":"YASHAGY210IVNR","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/YASHAGY210IVMO_PT01_873aeb9b-3051-43de-baa6-12d16ada456e.jpg?v=1780343004"}],"url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/collections\/knife-steel-double-edged-high-carbon-steel.oembed","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
