An In depth look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

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.
