Yoshikane Hamono

Yoshikane "Shoshin" SKD11 Nashiji Gyuto

$359.00

This "Shoshin" series gyuto is a special custom ordered knife from Yoshikane Hamono. Yoshikane is known for its experience with SKD11 steel, a semi-stainless steel that can be treated to the hardness of 64 HRC, enabling amazing edge retention, while still maintaining easy-to-sharpen quality due to comparatively lower chromium content. Yoshikane's forging and grinding are top-notch as always, and the SKD11 steel enables superb thinness behind-the-edge, giving the knife excellent cutting performance. The blade has an aesthetically pleasing Nashiji finish on the jigane, which transits to a refined Kasumi finish on the grind before exposing the cutting edge. A beautiful knife with superior sharpness retention, superb cutting smoothness while maintaining sharpness ease and pleasure.

    About Yoshikane Hamono 吉金刃物

    With 4th generation artisan Kazuomi Yamamoto on the throne, Yoshikina Hamono is a Japanese knife making company in Sanjo City, Niigata with over 100 years history. Founded in 1919 by Shimotajima. Yoshikane Hamono has been making knives by hand for generations in this tiny Japanese town well known for its metalware. To date, they have kept going in the traditional way with such focus and dedication that can only be found in this part of the world.

    Care:

    SKD11 Steel is a semi-stainless steel. With general use, the knife is unlikely to develop patina or rust. However, as the chromium content of SKD11 is comparatively lower than stainless steels, patina or rust may develop under certain conditions such as prolonged exposure to water. The cladding of the knife is fully stainless therefore if patina or rust is to develop at all, it will be localized on the exposed core steel near the cutting edge. Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

    Cutting Surface:

    Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

    Sharpening:

    We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

    My first Big blade

    In 2012 I bought my first hand made artisan knife from Japan and immediately fell in love. Since then I have built up a small collection of these beautifully made knives. Yoshikane has been one of the makers that I wanted to try. And wow I wasn't disappointed at all. What a beautifully made knife. And when I cut a potato it...well a big smile came across my face, it just melted through. These knives are made to last and if treated properly, handed down generations. Also I really want to thank Ryky for giving me the tools, and passion to learn to sharpen and maintain my knives through the youtube videos. Thanks again
    Best regards
    David
