About this range

First Impressions

Superb. The knife is very sharp out of the box - up there with some of the best and the balance point feels just right at the heel of the blade. 

If you're looking for a robust workhorse that's going to be your everyday knife then look no further.

Beauty

The nashiji finish combined with high polish finish of the core SKD steel create a great looking knife with the pattern and finishing being completely unique to every blade.

In Hand

Nicely balanced and nimble and with a classic octagonal wa handle it's a breeze to use on a range of ingredients and prep jobs. 

Durability

The core SKD steel is a great choice and retains an edge well. The stainless cladding with its nashiji finish protects the core nicely and you'll be using this knife for many years.

Ease of Care

While it is a reactive knife it's easy enough to care for and maintain. The SKD steel is pretty easy to sharpen and as long as you follow the standard care instructions and store your knife safely when it's not in use, this is one that's going to last you as long as you need.

Our Verdict

The sharpness out of the box and finish quality are excellent and it's a great knife from a very skilled blacksmith so for the money we think you get a get a great looking knife that's going to perform very well for many years.

Yoshikane knives are some of our best sellers among both professional chefs and home cooks seeking exceptional performance and finishing standards.

Range Specifications

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
