## Description

Knife Features Blade Material: VG-10 Stainless Steel Edge Angle: Double Edge: Damascus Handle Shape: Octagon Handle Material: Rosewood Chetan HRC: 60 Knife Style: Giotto Chef Knife Saya Cover: Stain-resistant Natural Magnolia Wood: Yes Hammered and Hammered with 46 Layers of Steel According to Damascus Tradition with Heart VG-10, V. G-10 2The 018 Ascos series is a perennial bestseller, combining performance, aesthetics and exceptional value. The most versatile and essential of all the knives a chef can have is the Japanese chef's knife known as the Giotto knife. Giotto knife is a Japanese chef knife with a curved blade that vibrates smoothly back and forth and has an extended tip for fast cutting that can be used to cut meat, fish and vegetables. Proudly made in Japan. This knife is completed with a traditional Japanese handmade octagonal handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welded by hand for smooth use. Includes a protective wooden sheath called Saya, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The traditional Japanese knife has a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and sharpening should be done with water sharpening stones only. Hand wash and dry only, do so immediately if it works with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, peel and frozen foods.

Review: While I'm an amateurish-at-best chef, I do know a few things about blades- former boy scout, shave with a straight razor that I hone and strop myself, I've forged several knives of my own, etc. I'm, er, a bit fond of bladed objects. So when I tell you that this knife is sharp enough to take me by surprise, I hope you'll take my meaning. It passes the paper test with flying colors, it will very easily shave whatever hair you try it on (and the skin beneath if you're not careful!), but it passed my personal favorite test- the overripe blueberry. Forget slicing a ripe tomato, the paper-thin blueberry skin is a real test of a knife in my experience, and this knife handled it with surgical ease. On top of that, it is an absolute show-stopper aesthetically- the pictures don't begin to do it justice. I should note, however, what it is *not*. Do not labor under the misunderstanding that this is a folded steel blade- it is not. It is an extremely high-quality core of Japanese VG-10 steel with Damascus-style layering and a hammered finish to give it better durability and aesthetics. If you're looking for an actual Japanese folded-steel blade, look at a price point 10-20x what you see here and consider yourself lucky if you find one. If, however, you're looking for an extremely high-quality, beautiful, razor-sharp kitchen knife, I highly recommend this one.
Review: I purchased the Yoshihiro NSW 46 knife as a gift for my son several months ago. While not a professional chef, he is a very accomplished cook with excellent knife skills. He thinks highly of this knife — prizes it really. It’s beautifully crafted; definitely a piece of art. Beautifully packaged, too. The first thing my son did was feel for the balance, and gave it a deep-voiced “oh yeah,” (he’s a real under-stated kind of guy). The knife is very sharp, and has held its edge with no rolling or chipping through a lot of use. When I asked my son how he would review it, he said “top marks!” Top marks also for Yoshihiro’s customer service. I received the knife promptly. Yoshihiro called me some months later to make sure I was happy with my purchase after a time of use, and to see if we needed any sharpening services (first one is free if you need it). They then followed with a personal email which was clearly written by the service rep I spoke to (a very nice and professional woman who wasn’t bothersome at all). I have no doubt that if I’d had a problem with the knife, Yoshihiro would have taken seamless care of any concerns. At the time of purchase, I was wavering between Yoshihiro and another brand. What tipped me to Yoshihiro were reviews of Yoshihiro by professional chefs. I’m so glad I followed their advice, and would like to thank them for taking the time to write here. I am a Yoshihiro repeat customer, as I just purchased their NSW 46 layers veggie knife for my son-in-law’s bday gift. This is a brand I’m going to stick with, as they clearly put a lot of heart into what they create.

*by J***. on 16 September 2014*

After nearly two months of daily kitchen grind, this knife is as sharp and as beautiful as it was the day it came out of the box. From thinly slicing beef to finely dicing tomatoes, it mows through every task with ease. The only time i have had an issue with staining was after mincing a large amount of basil, but after a little scrub, knife oil and TLC it was back to gleaming. I also bought a yoshihiro utility knife in blue steel that, and while being very useful, it has not retained an edge like this Damascus steel. I also prefer the handle style to the western of other knives, it's just more comfortable during a long day, but that is of course personal preference. Combine the comfort of the handle with its light weight and it's stubbornly razor sharp blade and you might have the perfect knife. Buy it! You'll love it!
