Yoshikane Tsuchime -Nakiri- 165mm - SKD

Yoshikane Hamono, a legendary Japanese knifemaker with over 100 years of heritage, crafts blades that embody the pinnacle of Sanjo, Niigata craftsmanship. Each knife is a testament to meticulous attention to detail and timeless design. The SKD steel series features a semi-stainless high-carbon core clad in protective stainless steel, delivering exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The distinctive wide-bevel grind paired with a shallow hammer texture creates a refined aesthetic that bridges nashiji and kurouchi traditions — a visual signature of Yoshikane's design philosophy. Finished with traditional burnt chestnut handles, these knives balance performance with understated elegance. The ergonomic design and superior balance make them ideal for serious cooks who demand both cutting precision and aesthetic harmony in their kitchen tools.
