Yoshikane SKD Gyuto 240 mm

 Yoshikane Hamono has been regarded as one of the most well-famed, quality knife makers in Japan since its inception in 1919, they are led by Kazutoshi Yamamoto, their 4th generation Blacksmith. This knife is a stainless clad with Shirogami #2 core(white #2) steel. It has a fine grinding all the way on blade spine and super thin edge geometry with beautiful Nashiji finish on it. Of course, Laser sharp out of the box.

The gyuto is an all purpose knife and the Japanese equivalent to the western chef's knife, and the 240 mm is the equivalent of 10 inch variation of that knife. 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 comfortable. The white core steel is incredibly easy to sharpen to hair popping levels, and being a touch thicker with more of a workhorse grind you dont 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!
