We received some a large delivery of teak handle and sayas recently, decided to choose some of the really good looking handles to pair with the much loved Yoshikane White 2 Gyuto in 24cm for these special sets. Comes with K&S teakwood handle and saya.
This special edition has its photo taken individually, so what you see is what you will get.
===========
This is the Hatsukokoro (初心) version of the Yoshikane White 2 Gyuto. Different to K&S Amekiri line, this Hatsukokoro version is with kanji 初心 from a new channel to meet the high demand on this sought-after Yoshikane gyuto. Other than the kanji engraving, all specs of this blade are the same as K&S Amekiri.
With a rustic Nashiji finish coupled with a highly praised Sanjo region F&F, this knife has a very nice profile, large sweet spot, and feels very nimble in hand. White 2 core with stainless cladding ensure the highest cutting performance yet the stainless cladding means you will have little worry about the rust.
This maker is a highly regarded knife house in Sanjo, Niigata. Founded in 1919, it is one of the most established top quality kitchen knife manufacturers in the region.
