Product Description: Yoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Santoku & Petty Knife 2pc Set by Yoshihiro Cutlery.

Yoshihiro Cutlery is a company that specializes in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, all made by artisans with centuries-old lineage. The techniques used to create Yoshihiro knives date back to medieval Japanese swordsmiths who mastered the art of working with fire, iron, and water. Our selection of knives reflects seven centuries of tradition combined with modern innovation inspired by Japanese ingenuity.

The Yoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Santoku & Petty Knife Set is handcrafted in Japan. The knives are clad in two layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel, providing durability and protection while maintaining a sharp cutting edge. The Kurouchi finish on the Stainless Cladding is a rare and modern development in metallurgy, making these knives exceptional.

The blades are made of Exceptionally Forged Stainless Blue Steel #2 Clad with a HRC of 62-63, known for high edge retention and extreme sharpness. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding allows the blades to be forgiving to moisture while retaining superior edge retention and sharpness. Care and sharpening should be done with water whetstones, and the knives should be hand washed and dried immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients.

These knives are balanced and fit for comfort with a traditional Japanese octagonal rosewood handle suitable for both left and right-handed users. An optional lacquered Magnolia wood Saya Cover is included for easy and safe storage. The knives are designed for professional chefs seeking precision cuts, and maintenance is key to prevent rust, especially with the Blue Steel core exposed edge.

Each Yoshihiro knife is a unique work of art handcrafted by master artisans in Japan. The Kurouchi finish offers a characteristic rustic look and exceptional sharpness, making these knives ideal for professional use. The traditional Japanese Wa-style handle ensures a lightweight and ergonomic grip for seamless use.

From everyday meal preparations to special occasions, these handcrafted knives will make every task a pleasure.
