High Speed Steel is currently recognized as the most advanced stainless steel available for high-end kitchen knives. Notably, the steel alloy contains a significant amount of cobalt (8%), which imparts remarkable wear resistance and durability. Originally designed for industrial machinery, this steel is equally well-suited for high-end kitchen knives that demand exceptional edge retention.

Forging kitchen knives from High Speed Steel is a challenging process that few manufacturers undertake. However, when executed successfully, the results are outstanding. The key moment in this process is during heat treatment, where the steel is subjected to temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Celsius. This extreme heat, combined with state-of-the-art steel technology, is what makes the Yoshihiro High Speed Steel Kiritsuke exceptional.

Our Yoshihiro HAP40 High Speed Stainless Steel Kiritsuke is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife that exemplifies cutting-edge design. The HAP40 (Funmatsu Haisu) stainless steel is on the verge of becoming a premier choice in the stainless steel knife market, offering unparalleled cutting performance and edge retention. Forged at extremely high temperatures, this steel composition is not only durable but also designed to withstand the rigors of industrial use. With a Rockwell hardness scale of 65-66, this knife will maintain its superior edge for an extended period.

The High Speed Stainless steel core is clad with a softer stainless steel, enhancing the knife’s toughness and edge retention. It features a traditional premium rosewood handle with a bolster, providing a balanced and comfortable grip. This knife is ideal for professionals engaged in high-volume prep work for extended hours, ensuring that every cut is precise and effortless.
