This knife is made from SKD 12 which is a semi stainless steel but is clad in stainless steel for easy maintenance. The knife features superb grinds on it's bevels, is nicely sanded on the spine and in the choil and features a beautiful nashiji finish. Of course, Laser sharp out of the box. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe distal taper on Yoshikane Hamono knives are characteristic of other knives made in the Tsubame-Sanjo city area, coming thick out of the handle, and tapering down very thin at the tip. It gives the knives a sturdy feeling in the hand while providing incredible performance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Gyuto is an all purpose knife and the Japanese equivalent to the western chef's knife, and 210mm is the equivalent of the standard 8 inch variation of that knife. From slicing, dicing, chopping, and carving the Gyuto can do it all, and this one in particular has a hybrid profile that has enough sweep to rock and a big enough flat spot on the heel to chop comfortable. The white core steel is incredibly easy to sharpen to hair popping levels, and being a touch thicker with more of a workhorse grind you don't need to be super worried about chipping, and with the stainless cladding you get all that performance with minimal exposed carbon to worry about rusting on you! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding).
