## Description

Yoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Santoku Multipurpose Knife Ebony Handle (6.5'' (165mm) & No Saya)

## Features

- Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
- Kurouchi translates as “Black-Forged” and this unique style of forging offers a characteristic look and an unpolished rustic aesthetic finish to the blade. With a HRC of 62-63, the core of Blue Steel #2 is prized for its high edge retention and provides an extremely sharp edge that is able to maintain its sharpness over extended period of time. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding allows the blade to be more forgiving to moisture while still having superior edge retention and sharpness intact.
- Our Yoshihiro Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives are clad in 2 layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel that provides durability and protection without sacrificing its sharp cutting edge. Traditional Kurouchi knives will always be made out of highly reactive carbon steel but this knife is exceptional in that the Kurouchi finish is on the Stainless Cladding which is a new development in modern metallurgy and is highly rare and difficult to forge.
- The most versatile and one of the most popular knives that a cook can have today is a Japanese all purpose chefs knife known as a Santoku knife. Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools such as a high quality chefs knife to make every meal into something special.
- Proudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. An optional and recommended protective wooden sheath called a Saya can be purchased together, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.
- Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Carbon steel can oxidize if not properly maintained. Keep dry and oil regularly to prevent oxidation along the knife's edge.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wanted to like it, steel too soft, dull fast, rusts all the time, low overall performance.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021*

It's pretty but thats about it.  Even given its prettiness theres fit and finish blemishes on the blade, which I did not expect from a handmade $200+ Japanese blade. however, The handle is beautiful and perfect.  Overall, as a useful kitchen tool, it really comes up short.  It gets an excellent edge with proper honing but looses it in a week of regular use, where my $40 Calphalon and Henckles blades don't.  It rusts VERY easily, and I live in a dry/arid climate. I can not imagine how much maintenance it would take somewhere humid or coastal.  Overall more work than its worth and is not a practical kitchen tool.  Look elsewhere, maybe other yoshihiro blades don't have these issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Slice and dice
  

*by H***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014*

It is the best knife ever! I like it. For the price I think you can't ask for more. Granted that there are better knifes out there, but at a higher cost. On the other hand I am not a professional cook, and this fits my needs well. I use it on everyday cooking. Cuts vegetables, meat, etc extremely well. As any knife of this kind you better keep it clean, so after I use it I clean immediately. Otherwise oxidation will take place. I chose this size because it fits my hands perfectly, so have this in mind when you purchase yours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Research high carbon steel before you buy
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014*

After taking this knife to a stone it has been the sharpest knife I own. It also holds the longest edge of any knife I own. The downside to blue high carbon steel is dealing with the patina. The blade oxidizes way faster than I expected. Extremely sharp but may not be practical if you're too busy to take care of it.
