Utility knife
Utility knife with a 15 cm long blade.
The knife is hand-forged from ATS34 stainless steel. The steel is hardened to 61 HRC and has excellent edge retention. Around the core steel is a sheath of stainless nickel damascus that has been polished to a mirror finish. Yauji spends a lot of time on the polishing to give the knives a look that really pops. The handle is octagonal and made of ebony.

We first met Yoshihiro Yauji in February 2014 when he visited us in Sollentuna together with Shiro Kamo and Masanobu Okada. We went to Bergendal manor, which offered herring and potatoes, followed by rutabaga mash and pork. As we recall, the taste experience was somewhat divided among the gentlemen, but Yauji seemed to appreciate our Swedish classics. At that time, Yauji worked as a blacksmith for master Okada in Takefu. Since 2019, he has been forging knives under his own name, and his creations are truly impressive. These blades are so delicate that it's a pure joy to slice potatoes. The weight is in the mid-range and the blade is very thin. The finish is really good and the grind is perfectly even. We cannot point to anything that is less than superb. They cost a bit, but when you hold this knife in your hand, the price will not be questioned.
Top quality for connoisseurs!
