Hayate Hinoura Black-Forged Blue Steel Clad Knife Series

The Hayate Hinoura series pairs a high-carbon Blue Steel core with stainless cladding and a kurouchi (black-forged) finish. The Blue Steel edge is keen and long-lasting, the stainless jacket makes care easier, and the dark forge scale gives each blade a rugged, handmade look.

The series includes gyuto, nakiri, petty, paring and other shapes. These knives are a great step up for cooks who want carbon steel performance with simpler care. See also Stainless Clad High-Carbon Knives.
