Yoshikane Shirogami #2 Kurouchi Stainless Clad 8.25" Kiritsuke, Stabilized Birch

As of today, I have 8 Yoshikane knives and expect two more to be delivered tomorrow. If it’s in your budget and fits your style it will preform favorably with any knife on the market.

This knife is without a doubt equal to or better than the best. I have a Nakagawa Silver #3 Kasumi Kiritsuke 210mm that I use on a regular basis along with my Yoshikane. They are step for step both great knifes. This Yoshikane has the edge in that it is a laser in your hands. The geometry is such that it is a knife that has it all. What can I say, it’s a Yoshikane.

Perfection! The rounded choil and spine along with the thick sanjo style distal taper makes for a super comfortable cutting experience. Wonderfully thin behind the edge and W2 is so easy to sharpen to hero status. The 210 k-tip is the at home sweet spot for me and I couldn't be any happier!

This knife cuts everything like butter. No food sticking issues. Handle is beautiful. Blade is beautiful.

It was heavier than I expected when I took it out of the box, and though I knew it had a thicker spine I also wasn’t really expecting how thick it was at the handle. At first I wasn’t sure what I thought, but then I used it… wow… the balance is perfect for use and it just glides though everything. It feels like a dream.

I am incredibly happy with this knife!

I received my knife less than 48 hours after I ordered it. It was carefully packaged, Fairly priced. And I look forward to buying more knives from Cutlery and More.
