About this item

• Our Yoshihiro SLD Stainless Clad Knives feature a dual layer of stainless steel for durability and protection without compromising sharpness.
• High Performance SLD is a new generation steel from Japan designed to exceed the capabilities of existing metals. It is highly wear resistant and rivals carbon steel in hardness while also being highly stain resistant. This results in a knife with exceptional sharpness, long edge retention, and stainless durability.
• A Japanese slicing knife known as a Sujihiki-Kiritsuke knife is essential for chefs and cooks alike. It is perfect for a wide range of slicing tasks, from large roasts to delicate items like cucumbers or smoked salmon.
• Each knife from Yoshihiro is proudly crafted in Japan and meticulously made by master artisans. The knife features a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for seamless use. An optional protective wooden sheath called a Saya is also available for purchase.
• Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires careful maintenance. Sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones only. To preserve the knife's quality, it should be hand washed and dried immediately, especially after using with acidic ingredients. The knife should not be used on hard objects or frozen foods.
