Yoshimi Echizen knives are designed, forged, and sharpened in one workshop; closely handled and overseen by certified craftsmen in Echizen. They are committed to great quality and inherit and pass down knife-making philosophy and skill-set. This brand is a great example of craftsmanship from Echizen.

These knives have an excellent profile, grind, and distal taper, as well as clean fit and finish. Both the kurouchi and migaki models are clad in stainless steel. The stainless cladding reduces the reactive surface area of the knives to the few millimeters in between the cutting edge and lamination line.

The core is Super Gold 2 (SG2) stainless steel, engineered for superior edge retention and excellent sharpness. It's clad with a softer stainless steel that has a stylized star-patterned tsuchime. This model will have similar toughness to the Blue Super model, which is not to say tough, but not crazy brittle like a lot of powdered stainless steels out there. These knives come with a saya, either ho wood, as pictured, or black (not pictured).
