Specifications
Hand-forged in Sanjo, Japan by Yoshikane Hamono, this Japanese chef's knife features an SKD semi-stainless core clad in stainless steel with a nashiji finish. The 211mm edge and 46.9mm heel height provide versatile cutting performance. Built in a workhorse style, it has a thick spine with excellent distal taper, yet remains thin behind the edge—a well-executed grind that allows it to cut smoothly and efficiently. Hefty in hand and authoritative, this knife is suitable for home cooks and professional chefs, and an excellent upgrade for those stepping up from entry-level options.
