The Hatsukokoro SKD nashiji gyuto is crafted by Yoshikane hamono in Sanjo, Japan. It's constructed with a core steel of SKD, a tool steel recognized for its impressive toughness and edge retention. This semi-stainless blade is complemented by an octagonal walnut handle with a horn ferrule. As a gyuto knife, it's versatile, suitable for a range of kitchen tasks from slicing to dicing.

❖ 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.
