Our handmade Yoshihiro Kurouchi Super Blue Steel Stainless Clad Series sets a new standard in performance and craftsmanship. Featuring a distinctive Black Forged 'Kurouchi' finish, this carbonized coating is created during heat treatment, imparting a unique and rustic aesthetic to each blade. With a hardness rating of 63-64 on the Rockwell scale, Super Blue High Carbon Steel is recognized as a top-tier material in high carbon steel metallurgy.
The Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives are expertly clad in two layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and protection without compromising the knife's sharp cutting edge. Unlike traditional Kurouchi knives, which are typically crafted from highly reactive carbon steel, this series is exceptional; the Kurouchi finish is applied to the stainless cladding, representing a rare and innovative development in modern metallurgy.
The Santoku knife, a versatile Japanese all-purpose knife, features a round tip and a shorter, thinner blade, making it an ideal choice for home cooks. The term "Santoku" translates to "three virtues," reflecting its ability to effortlessly handle meat, fish, and vegetables alike. Each knife from Yoshihiro is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, resulting in a unique work of art that enhances your cooking experience. Whether you're dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market or carving a roast chicken fresh from the oven, even the simplest tasks are transformed with a handcrafted knife that balances beauty and functionality.
In the hands of skilled craftsmen, the steel is forged and sharpened into a world-class knife that delivers exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The remarkably sharp blade enables precise cuts with consistency and ease, maintaining peak performance for an extended period due to its high wear resistance. Elevate your culinary adventures with a knife designed to make every meal special.
