Hayate Hinoura Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Santoku Multipurpose Knife
Product Code: SKU:HMSA180STBMS
Our Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives exemplify the perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and modern metallurgy. Featuring a Kurouchi finish on stainless cladding, these knives maintain the rustic aesthetic of a "Black-Forged" blade without the upkeep challenges of high-carbon steel. The stainless cladding not only enhances durability but also protects against moisture while preserving the sharpness and strength of the blade. At their core, the knives are crafted with Blue Steel #2, a premium high-carbon steel with a hardness of 63 on the Rockwell scale, celebrated for its exceptional edge retention and sharpness that withstands prolonged use.
Each knife is complemented by a handcrafted Octagonal Stabilized Maple Burl handle with water buffalo horn bolster (color varies), designed for comfort and usability for both left- and right-handed users. To enhance the knife's protection and aesthetics, it comes with a Magnolia wood Saya Cover, providing easy and safe storage. Whether you’re dicing fresh produce from a farmer’s market or carving a roast chicken from the oven, even the simplest culinary tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that seamlessly combines beauty and functionality.
The knife features a stainless steel cladding that ensures durability and resistance to corrosion while retaining a sharp edge. The Blue Steel core is renowned for its exceptional sharpness and edge retention, making it ideal for professional chefs who demand precision in their cuts. However, while most of the blade is stainless steel, the exposed Blue Steel edge may rust if not properly cared for. It is recommended that chefs regularly dry and oil the blade after use to prevent oxidation.
Elevate your culinary experience with the Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives, complemented perfectly by the Custom-Cut Saya Knife Cover—where traditional craftsmanship meets modern innovation for a knife that is both exquisite and practical.
