Yoshihiro VG-10 Gold Stainless Steel Japanese Santoku Knife (7 / 180mm)

Our handcrafted Yoshihiro Gold Steel knives feature a blade material of VG-10 stainless steel, with an edge angle that is double edged. The grade of VG-10 is Gold, which is known for its high quality. The handle shape is Western, made from Black Pakkawood material. The HRC of the knife is 60, allowing for durability and a long-lasting sharpness. This knife style is the Santoku Multipurpose Knife, which is versatile and popular among chefs.

The inner core of VG-10 stainless steel is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel using the traditional Warikomi method. This results in a knife that is both durable and easy to maintain, with high edge retention. The outer layer is non-corrosive, making it stain resistant and perfect for everyday use in the kitchen.

Santoku knives are known for their versatility and are a favorite among chefs and cooks. The name Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese, referring to the knife's ability to perform tasks typically done with a vegetable knife, usuba, and Gyuto all in one. This makes it an essential tool in the kitchen for any home cook or professional chef.

Each Yoshihiro knife is proudly made in Japan, not mass produced, ensuring that every knife is a unique work of art. The premium Western style handle is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, allowing for seamless use while preparing meals. Handcrafted by master artisans, these knives are excellent for chopping, slicing, and dicing a variety of ingredients to create delicious meals.

Taking care of your Yoshihiro knife is essential to maintain its sharp edge. Use water Whetstones for sharpening and honing, and hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones or frozen foods to ensure its longevity.
