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.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eProudly made in Japan and not mass produced. This knife set is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTraditional 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePreparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools such as a high quality chef’s knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer’s market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable class=\\\"product-overview\\\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlue Steel #2, Stainless\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYoshihiro\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlue,Clad\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEbony\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBlade Edge\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDouble Edged\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003eProduct description\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ch5\u003eYoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Stainless Clad Gyuto \u0026amp; Petty Knife  2pc Set\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cdiv style=\\\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0;margin:0;padding:0;line-height:0;font-size:0;\\\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/3196a6a7-dda0-4ea7-9292-20290b9f1a67.__CR0,0,970,600_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/d7539c96-0f72-48e1-9637-86d44496b264.__CR0,0,300,400_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/7f83477d-1a84-46f3-8149-4f5076d80727.__CR0,0,700,350_PT0_SX350_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch5\u003eYoshihiro Cutlery\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoshihiro Cutlery is a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Yoshihiro knives are handcrafted by Artisans with a lineage spanning centuries.
