YO-KU-HS155W-QW

Honesuki, boning knife, with a 156 mm long blade. The model has a more robust blade and is often used for poultry.

Yoshikane has its manufacturing in Sanjo, Japan. The knives are characterized by a relatively thick spine, as well as extremely thin and fine edges. They cut fantastically well, but are also sensitive to harsh treatment. It is a knife that delivers performance at the highest possible level. We highly recommend it!

Core steel: Shirogami #2 (62-63 HRC)
Cladding: Stainless steel with a blackened finish.
Blade height: 46 mm
Weight: 139 grams
Handle: Quince wood with a buffalo horn bolster. Octagonal shape.

NOTE: Shirogami#2 is not stainless. Always remember to wipe the edge dry to avoid rust. Since the steel is reactive, a patina will develop relatively quickly. If you cut proteins, a blue and green patina will appear, while vegetables give more of a grey-brownish patina.

Handle material:

Carbon steel
Carbon steel is not stainless and therefore requires a little more care than stainless steel. Always clean and dry the knife thoroughly immediately after use. This is especially important after cutting acidic foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and onions, as the acid can quickly react with the steel.

Do this:

Clean the knife immediately after use.
Wash by hand using the soft side of a dish sponge and a little dishwashing liquid.
Dry the blade thoroughly after cleaning.
For long-term storage, the blade can be protected with a thin layer of tsubaki oil.

Avoid:

Dishwashers.
Leaving the knife in water or allowing it to remain damp.
Leaving food residue, especially from acidic ingredients, on the blade.

Patina, a completely natural oxidation of carbon steel

As carbon steel is used, the blade will gradually change colour and develop a patina. Depending on the foods you cut, it can take on shades of grey, blue, brown and sometimes even almost rainbow-like tones.

Patina is a natural reaction between the steel and food and is not the same as rust. In fact, an established patina provides some protection for the steel and makes the blade less reactive over time.

Rust, on the other hand, should be removed. It is often orange or reddish-brown and may feel rough on the surface of the blade. A patina is normally smooth and is a natural part of owning and using a carbon steel knife.
