Product Description: Yoshihiro 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Multi-purpose Chef Knife - Made in Japan

Yoshihiro Cutlery is a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, all made by artisans with a lineage spanning centuries. The techniques used to create Yoshihiro knives date back to medieval Japanese sword smiths. Our selection of knives reflects seven centuries of tradition combined with modern innovation inspired by Japanese ingenuity.

The Yoshihiro 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Multi-purpose Chef Knife is handcrafted in Japan, forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 Core. This series combines performance, beauty, and extraordinary value. It is a professional quality chef's knife with a blend of razor sharpness suitable for tasks like dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce.

The blade of the knife is made from VG-10 steel, a Japanese stainless steel that is highly durable and enables a sharp cutting edge. The hard VG-10 steel is clad in a softer Damascus steel to give the blade added toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and prevents food from sticking to it.

Care and sharpening of the knife is essential to maintain its sharpness and quality. Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, requiring sharpening and honing with water whetstones only. It is advised to hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. The knife should not be used on hard objects like bones, nutshells, or frozen foods.

The Yoshihiro 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Multi-purpose Chef Knife features a Japanese-style rosewood handle with a redwood bolster. The knife comes with a protective magnolia knife sheath (Saya) to protect the blade when not in use.

Proudly made in Japan, the Yoshihiro 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Multi-purpose Chef Knife is a versatile and popular choice among chefs and cooks. It is a must-have tool in the kitchen for preparing delicious meals with precision and ease.
