Yoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Santoku Multipurpose Knife Kaede Wood Handle

Description

Our Traditional Kurouchi knives are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, and this exceptional piece showcases a unique development in modern metallurgy. Unlike typical Kurouchi knives made from highly reactive carbon steel, this knife features a Kurouchi finish on stainless cladding, offering the rustic aesthetics of a traditional Kurouchi blade without the high-maintenance care associated with carbon steel.

The term Kurouchi translates to "Black-Forged," reflecting its distinct unpolished, rustic finish. Our Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives are enveloped in two layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel, providing exceptional durability and protection while maintaining a razor-sharp cutting edge.

With a Rockwell hardness of 63-64, the inner core is crafted from Blue Steel #2, known for its outstanding edge retention. This high-performance steel ensures that the knife maintains its sharpness over extended periods, while the Kurouchi stainless cladding adds moisture resistance, making it more forgiving in humid conditions.

Complemented by a handcrafted Octagonal Kaede wood handle, this knife offers comfort and ease of use for both left and right-handed chefs. It also comes with a Lacquered Magnolia wood Saya Cover for safe and convenient storage. Whether you're dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from the farmer's market or carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, this handcrafted knife elevates even the simplest culinary tasks, blending beauty and functionality seamlessly.
