Ginsan blends traditional methods of knife-making with modern metallurgy, representing a breakthrough in the incorporation of high carbon steel and stain-resistant metallic elements. With a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 63-64, Ginsan offers a rare combination of the best features found in traditional Japanese high carbon knives alongside the practical benefits of stainless steel properties. Forged by our master artisans, Ginsan steel is used to create traditional Japanese knives of the highest quality, providing peace of mind in high-paced kitchen environments.

Our Yoshihiro Ginsan Mirror Polished knives are complemented by a handcrafted traditional Japanese-style Ebony Wood Handle affixed with an Ironwood Bolster. Each knife comes with a protective wooden sheath called a Saya, which not only protects the blade but also enhances its aesthetic appeal when not in use.

Among the most sought-after knives, and increasingly recognized as an essential companion to the popular chef's knife, is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife known as the Usuba Kama Gata. This knife resembles a small cleaver and features a sharp tip for more intricate tasks. The Usuba Kama Gata is cherished for its versatility, excelling at chopping through root vegetables and thinly slicing delicate tomatoes. From prepping greens for a salad to chopping vegetables for a main dish, the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that embodies both beauty and functionality.
