All Yoshihiro knives are handcrafted by Artisans with a lineage spanning centuries. The origins of the techniques used to create Yoshihiro knives dates back to medieval Japanese sword smiths who perfected the technique of handling fire, iron, and water. Our selections are far and wide and is a culmination of seven centuries of tradition intertwining with modern innovation inspired from 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. The VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value. Blades made with VG-10 steel have a hardness that exceeds that of most other stainless steel cutlery on the market, allowing for a thinner, sharper cutting edge.

The hard VG-10 steel is clad in a softer Damascus steel in order to give the blade an added toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. The knife is not to be used on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

The knife comes with a protective wooden sheath called a Saya, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use, and a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use.

Both the VG-10 steel core and the outer Damascus steel are stain resistant, giving the user peace of mind when using the knife for extended periods without the worry of rust buildup.

Proudly made in Japan, this Yoshihiro 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Multi-purpose Chef Knife is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition of Japanese sword smiths and is the perfect tool for elevating everyday cooking tasks.
