• Our Ice Hardened Molybdenum series are made by forging a single piece of high carbon Aus10 stainless steel. Ice hardening is a process that helps draw out the hardness of refined steel while infusing it with enough resiliency to perform consistently in the most exacting of conditions. These knives are perfect for those who are looking for a thin, razor sharp, double edged blade that is very light in weight.
• The most indispensable blade for chefs is the Japanese Gyuto knife, known for its versatility and essential design. Featuring a curved blade that easily rocks back and forth, the Gyuto knife is ideal for swift chopping of meat, fish, and vegetables with its extended tip.
• Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. These knives are complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.
• Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
