An In depth look
Blade Type
The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.
Steel Type
Japanese SKD steel is a high-carbon, semi stainless steel much like Aogami 2 in it’s performance and sharpening feel. It can take an extremely fine edge, has excellent edge retention and is a joy to use when crafted by experienced craftsman. It will still patina lightly over time like other semi-stainless steels, without the added corrosion risk.
Care Information
This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.
Introducing
Yoshikane
With a history spanning over 100 years, Yoshikane Hamono stands among Japan’s most revered knifemakers — a name synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and understated refinement. Based in Sanjo, Niigata, their blades have earned global recognition for their performance, balance, and meticulous finish.
One of their most celebrated offerings is the SKD steel series — featuring a semi-stainless high-carbon core clad in stainless steel. The blades showcase a distinctive wide-bevel grind with a shallow hammer texture that sits stylistically between nashiji and kurouchi finishes. Paired with traditional burnt chestnut handles, each knife reflects Yoshikane’s dedication to consistency, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Built for serious cooks who value cutting performance as much as aesthetic harmony, Yoshikane knives represent the finest of Japan’s blacksmithing legacy.
Its the perfect effing knife! Love me some yoshikane.
Amazing, best knife I’ve ever used
Yoshikane offers the best fit and finish and cuts like a dream. My first Yoshikanr and won't be my last. Hope Chefs Edge can bring us more Sanjo knives.

This is it. The last piece of the puzzle of your culinary needs. Everything about this knife from the finish, the grind, the F&F, the taper, and the feel on the hand just left me in shock. I was cutting some onions and I almost cried, not from the onion itself, but how natural it felt, how easy it was to slice through them, transitioning from my cheap knives has increased that level of satisfaction even further. If you are not sure on what to get, and just want the best of the best. This is the knife for you. Maybe you'll finally get to experience of owning a Yoshikane.
