Yoshihiro offers you efficient kitchen knives that will last for years.
The brand has been established for a hundred years in the Land of the Rising Sun, and its craftsmen are the descendants of highly skilled blacksmiths, who themselves produced the swords of ancient warriors (the know-how could even be traced back to the 14th century). Little by little, the techniques used to design swords were applied to cutlery, which is why Japanese knives are so sharp and renowned.
Each knife created by the brand is unique. For the record, manufacturer Yoshihiro's motto is 一期一会. This could be translated as "every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity". That's why the brand strives to offer long-lasting knives whose performance will delight you for years to come, so you can enjoy every moment spent crafting recipes!
This Deba Yoshihiro Jyosaku knife features a thick, heavy blade, with a beveled edge (for right-handed use) that further enhances its cutting capacity. The Deba knife is ideal for slicing fish heads and bones, as well as making tartar with a knife.
Blade :
The blade is made of carbon steel, White #2 Steel. This alloy is often used for top-of-the-range Japanese knives. Produced by Hitachi steel mills (supplier of steel to many manufacturers there), it has a carbon content of 1.05%.
This makes the steel stiffer, which in turn enables it to be sharpened more intensively. As a result, the cutting edge is ultra-high-performance, for clean, precise cuts every time. An additional layer of soft iron surrounds the aforementioned core. The logo visible on the blade has been directly engraved by an expert craftsman. This is the case for every Yoshihiro knife!
Handle:
A black buffalo horn ferrule links the blade to the handle. It is usually naturally marbled, but each knife is unique.
The space between the blade and the handle is filled with wood pulp to prevent moisture and waste from lodging in this space. The handle is made of white magnolia wood. Its oval shape is perfect for all hands, guaranteeing pleasant use every time. The handle is hot-iron engraved.
With this knife, you're choosing a timeless model that will accompany you for years to come, while adding exoticism to your cutting equipment!
The different models :
This knife comes in several sizes. Here are the characteristics of each of them:
- 10.5cm blade (handle: 11.2cm; blade height: 4cm; blade thickness: 5.8mm; total length: 23.1cm; weight: 132g)
- Blade 15cm (handle: 12.4cm; blade height: 4.9cm; blade thickness: 6.4mm; total length: 29cm; weight: 230g)
- Blade 18cm (handle: 13.4cm; blade height: 5.5cm; blade thickness: 7.2mm; total length: 33cm; weight: 330g)
Please note that carbon is sensitive to oxidation. The knife should therefore be washed by hand, without soaking in the sink. After washing, wipe with a soft cloth to remove all traces of moisture. Note, however, that a carbon blade will tend to vary in color over time, even if you are very careful. This is normal (the knife is in constant contact with moist food, and moisture is also found in the ambient air...). You can apply mineral oil to the steel from time to time, for maintenance purposes.
