This gyuto knife from Hatsukokoro is handcrafted by Yoshikane hamono in Sanjo, Japan. The blade is forged from shirogami#2 steel, known for its ability to achieve a razor-sharp edge and ease of sharpening, making it a preferred carbon steel among chefs and enthusiasts. The nashiji finish lends it a traditional aesthetic. The gyuto knife's design is well-suited for a variety of kitchen tasks including slicing, dicing, and chopping, making it a reliable choice for everyday culinary needs.
❖ Yoshikane hamono, a renowned Japanese knife-making company in Sanjo City, Niigata, was founded in 1919. With over a century of history, it is now led by the fourth-generation master craftsman, Kazuomi Yamamoto. This family-operated business has consistently maintained its traditional hand-forging and grinding techniques. They are known for their excellent heat treatment, consistent grinds, and a great fit and finish. Like other Sanjo-made knives, they are thick coming out of the handle but tapers nicely along the spine making them really comfortable to hold while giving you that top-tier cutting performance.
