Stainless-Clad Care
This knife is made with stainless cladding over a high-carbon core. The cladding resists rust, but the exposed core at the edge can still discolor or rust if not kept dry and properly maintained.
- 63-64 HRC
- Yes, except along the knife's edge
- Optional Magnetic Oak Saya
Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This knife's cladding resists stains, though the exposed high-carbon edge can still discolor or rust without regular care.
Saya Cover
This knife does not automatically come with a saya cover included. Adding one with your order lets us shape it to this exact blade, a fit no aftermarket cover can match. A saya purchased separately later is cut to standard dimensions rather than this specific blade, so the fit is left to chance.

Product Details
The Yoshihiro Super Blue Steel Stainless Clad Hammered Gyuto Chefs Knife is a masterful blend of tradition and performance, crafted from the highest grade high carbon steel. Forged and sharpened by our skilled artisans, this exceptional knife boasts a hardness and edge retention that surpasses both White Steel #1 and #2, as well as Blue Steel #1 and #2. In the hands of an experienced chef, this remarkable tool will be a cherished companion in the kitchen for years to come.
The meticulous craftsmanship transforms the steel into a world-class knife, offering outstanding sharpness and precision. Its incredibly sharp blade enables the most accurate cuts, ensuring consistency and ease during food preparation. Moreover, the knife's ability to maintain its performance over time is enhanced by its high wear resistance, making it a reliable choice for daily use. The hammered texture of the blade further enhances its performance, reducing drag during cuts and making the knife even more efficient in the kitchen.
The Yoshihiro Super Blue Steel Stainless Clad Hammered Gyuto Chefs Knife features a dual-layer stainless steel cladding that provides exceptional durability and protection without compromising its sharp cutting edge. While the cladding helps reduce overall maintenance, the exposed Super Blue Steel edge is high-carbon and will naturally react with moisture, developing a patina or, if neglected, surface rust. Preventive measures such as drying immediately after use, applying Tsubaki knife oil, and using rust erasers are essential to maintain its pristine condition. This knife is recommended for professional use only if the user is not equipped to manage its maintenance and rust prevention needs.
This knife is further complemented by a Howlite white handle, designed for comfort and balance, accommodating both left and right-handed users. Experience the artistry and precision of the Yoshihiro Super Blue Steel Clad Gyuto Chef's Knife, a tool that elevates culinary skills and enhances the joy of cooking.
