The long blade allows for effortless one stroke cuts, where the considerable weight of the blade will do most of, if not all the work. It is important to note that yanagiba are very thin behind the edge, and should not be used for rough tasks.

From slicing, dicing, chopping, and carving the gyuto can do it all, and this one in particular has a hybrid profile that has enough sweep to rock and a big enough flat spot on the heel to chop comfortably. The Blue core steel is incredibly easy to sharpen to hair popping levels, and being a touch thicker with more of a workhorse grind you don't need to be super worried about chipping, and with the stainless cladding you get all that performance with minimal exposed carbon to worry about rusting on you! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and boneless proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50322786353468,"sku":"HHDG-210","price":233.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/IMG_5925.jpg?v=1779739026"},{"product_id":"hatsukokoro-hayabusa-damascus-petty-150-mm","title":"Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Damascus Petty 150 mm","description":"\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%;

These guys come to us from Tosa city, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, and their namesake refers to the mysterious cloud shadows. At the price these Kurouchi finish knives are a must have workhorse for any kit, the blue #2 steel will take an amazing edge, while being slightly more durable and rust resistant than a White steel (but we still wouldn’t push our luck).

The name highlights the extreme versatility of the shape, which is why we recommend it most to home cooks. Santokus are typically in the 165 mm (6.5 inch) to 180 mm (8 inch) length range. They generally have a gentle curve that sweeps up toward the tip, so they can easily be used with an up and down chopping motion or a rocking motion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52792842027324,"sku":"HRYUSG2S-180","price":259.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/KnivesonRack-Gage-6535.jpg?v=1772218988"},{"product_id":"hatsukokoro-ryuhyo-sg2-bunka-175-mm","title":"Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo SG2 Bunka 175 mm","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 195.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e175 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e315 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSG2(R2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eEbony\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFerrule \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRockwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e64 HRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eHeight Spine to heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e49 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWidth at Spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e1.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e145 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.892%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBevel \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.017%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDouble (50\/50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Blacksmith\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHatsukokoro are masters of smithing, sharpening, and handle making.
