Yuzo Black AS Japanese knives

Looking for a Japanese knife? There's no need to hesitate: you can turn directly to the Yuzo Black AS knife! This series of Japanese knives boasts a blade with character, and a handle that's far from being outdone. Let's focus on the blade first: it's built on a typically Japanese structure, the San Mai. To create the latter, an alloy is chosen for the heart of the blade, which is then surrounded by another, softer alloy. This balances the good points of the two steels, resulting in a knife that's tough and efficient. For the Yuzo Black AS knife, the blade core is made from top-of-the-range Japanese Aogami Super steel, which is highly enriched with carbon. Carbon keeps the cutting edge rigid, and therefore ultra-efficient. Surrounding this high-performance steel is a layer of stainless steel, which balances the rigidity of the core. Last but not least, yuzo black as Japanese knives feature a superb rough hammered forge finish. The handle is made of burnt oak wood at the end, which not only makes it more resistant, but also gives it a real touch of originality. The Yuzo Black AS knife is produced entirely in Japan, by Tsunehisa, a country where cutlery expertise is well established. Do you like Yuzo knives?
