SKD takes an exceptionally fine and stable edge with much of the feel associated with carbon steel, while remaining noticeably more forgiving toward moisture and everyday kitchen use. Hardened to approximately 63 HRC, it delivers excellent edge retention while maintaining the refined cutting feel Yoshikane is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 210 mm, this Gyuto strikes an exceptional balance between agility and authority. It offers enough length for proteins, larger vegetables, and volume prep while remaining quick and precise in hand. The profile features an extended flat section for efficient push-cutting, a gentle belly for smooth slicing, and a refined tip for detailed work. The spine begins with reassuring thickness before tapering elegantly toward the tip, creating stability where you want it and finesse where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional nashiji finish gives the blade a subtle, understated texture that fits Yoshikane’s quiet approach to craftsmanship. Equally impressive is the finishing around the spine and choil, which are carefully rounded and polished for a comfortable, refined feel in hand. These small details speak volumes about the discipline and experience behind the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this 1 of 1 build, we paired the Yoshikane with a striking custom handle featuring a white epoxy ferrule with dramatic black swirls, natural olive wood through the main body, and a translucent epoxy tip. The contrast is exceptional: the bright marbled ferrule immediately draws the eye, while the warmth and natural grain of the olive wood keeps the handle grounded and organic. The translucent tip completes the design with a modern detail that changes subtly depending on the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a handle that feels completely different from Yoshikane’s typically understated aesthetic, without taking anything away from the character of the blade itself. Traditional Sanjo craftsmanship meets modern custom work in a configuration that will not be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a serious working Gyuto at its core, shaped by generations of Japanese knifemaking experience, but this particular example goes a step further. With its SKD performance, refined Yoshikane geometry, olive wood, swirling white-and-black epoxy ferrule, and translucent epoxy tip, it becomes something equally suited to daily use and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assembled in Canada 🍁","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51633263739113,"sku":null,"price":720.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/YoshikaneCustom.png?v=1786105716","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-custom-white-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
