Blade type
The Santoku is one of the most popular knives in Japanese kitchens. Its name means "three virtues", a nod to its ability to handle meat, fish and vegetables with ease. With its shorter, well-balanced blade and relatively flat edge, the Santoku delivers clean cuts and excellent control for everyday use.
Steel type
The 7CR17 is a stainless steel renowned for its balance of corrosion resistance, easy care and simple sharpening. Its high chromium content protects it effectively against rust, ideal for everyday use. It holds its edge well through routine tasks and resharpens without difficulty, an excellent choice for everyday cooking.
Care information
This knife is made from stainless steel, which makes it easy to care for and undemanding day to day. Its high chromium content gives it strong resistance to corrosion. It can generally sit on the board for a few moments without risk, but it's best not to leave it to air dry. Wipe it dry after washing and store it away from any source of moisture.

FAQ
"I cook well but I'm no chef. Will this knife be too much for me?"
That question is the wrong way round. A good knife isn't something you have to earn; it brings out the best in you. It's often the home cook who feels the difference most clearly, from the very first cut. It's designed for everyday use, not to sit in a display case. And the lifetime warranty lets you get to know it without worry.
"Is the blade likely to chip?"
Chipping is a risk with very hard steels, sought after for pure performance. The Yoshino favours the balance between sharpness and resilience, designed for real-world cooking. Three things to avoid: bones, frozen food and glass cutting boards. For everything else, it holds its own. If there's a fault, we'll take it back.
"Will it still be as sharp in six months?"
This is where knives made to look the part and knives made to be used go their separate ways. Consistency comes down to very little: drying after use, a light sharpening every now and then. Cared for like this, it stays keen for years.
"Is it demanding to look after?"
Not at all. Hand wash, dry straight away, and that's it. A few minutes a week, no fuss.
"Does it make a good gift?"
Absolutely. Each knife arrives in an elegant black presentation box, making it a gift that's ready to give with no extra wrapping needed.
