Yoshihiro HAP40 Chef's Knife with Ebony Handle (9.5'' (240mm))

About this item

• The Yoshihiro High Speed Steel series boasts exceptional sharpness, prolonged edge retention, resistance to stains, and easy sharpening. The knife's superb performance comes from combining advanced metallurgy with the expertise of master craftsmen.
• High Speed Steel is currently considered the most advanced stainless steel for high-end kitchen knives. Its high wear-resistance and durability are thanks to the steel alloy's high content of Cobalt (8%). Its original use in industrial machinery makes it perfect for high-end kitchen knives needing long-lasting edge retention.
• The Kiritsuke is an essential and versatile knife for cooks, with a wider, straighter blade than a chef knife and a curved tip. Its design makes it suitable for chopping vegetables and cutting thin slices in meat or fish.
• Made in Japan and not mass-produced, this knife comes with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically shaped for easy use. A protective wooden sheath, called a Saya, is included to protect the knife when not in use. Each knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans, making each one unique.
• Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, requiring careful attention and care. Sharpening and honing should only be done with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry the knife only, and do so immediately if used with acidic ingredients. Avoid using it on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
