Yoshikane

With a history spanning over 100 years, Yoshikane Hamono stands among Japan’s most revered knifemakers — a name synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and understated refinement. Based in Sanjo, Niigata, their blades have earned global recognition for their performance, balance, and meticulous finish.

One of their most celebrated offerings is the SKD steel series — featuring a semi-stainless high-carbon core clad in stainless steel. The blades showcase a distinctive wide-bevel grind with a shallow hammer texture that sits stylistically between nashiji and kurouchi finishes. Paired with traditional burnt chestnut handles, each knife reflects Yoshikane’s dedication to consistency, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

Built for serious cooks who value cutting performance as much as aesthetic harmony, Yoshikane knives represent the finest of Japan’s blacksmithing legacy.
