Our handmade Yoshihiro Blue High Carbon Steel #2 Series Kiritsuke Japanese Multipurpose Knife represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance. Forged using traditional Japanese techniques, this knife embodies the essence of Kurouchi, a black-forged style that preserves the raw beauty of the blade.

Each knife is one-of-a-kind, featuring natural variations in its finish. Through the forging process, subtle spot-like patterns emerge on the blade, making every piece unique. These organic markings are a testament to the handcrafted nature of the knife, enhancing its rustic aesthetic while celebrating the artistry behind its creation. With a Rockwell hardness of 62-63, the Blue High Carbon Steel #2 core ensures exceptional edge retention, delivering unmatched sharpness and precision.

A great knife transforms even the simplest ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. Whether you're slicing delicate herbs, dicing crisp vegetables, or carving a roast, this handcrafted blade brings precision and elegance to every cut, making cooking a truly refined experience.

WARNING: KNIFE CAN BE OXIDIZED WITHOUT PROPER CARE. RECOMMENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

We recommend purchasing with a Custom-Cut Saya Knife Cover Sheath for optimal protection.
