These 210mm Kiritsuke from the Yorokobi SP series aren’t just another blades… they’re the kind of rare, high-end pieces where everything — steel, finish, grind, and overall execution — has been pushed further than usual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the core, you're getting SLD semi-stainless steel. It sits right between carbon and stainless in feel — holding an edge exceptionally well, offering more toughness than most high-hardness carbons, and remaining far more forgiving in day-to-day use. It’s the kind of steel that performs hard without demanding constant attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat really sets these blades apart is the finish and how it has been executed. The primary bevel carries a blasted migaki finish that contrasts beautifully with the upper section of the blade. Above it, a dark kurouchi finish blends into revealed Damascus patterns that emerge right at the top of the bevel — impossible to miss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen there’s the spine. Exposed Damascus running toward the tip showcases the layered construction in a way that’s rarely seen, and even more rarely executed this cleanly. It adds another dimension to the knives — not just visually, but structurally — allowing you to see exactly how they were built.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kiritsuke profile brings it all together. Long, flat, and purposeful, with a pronounced tip that excels in precise work while still handling larger prep with ease. These blades have presence on the board, yet remain controlled and deliberate through every cut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery detail points to one thing — these knives were never meant to be average. From the blasted bevel and kurouchi contrast to the Damascus reveals and exposed spine, they stand out even among high-end Japanese knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop.
