Great budget knives

- In this video I’m unboxing two knives from Yoshihiro.
"Yoshihiro" are knives produced by Yamawaki Hamono. They also produce knives under the name "Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro".
This Yoshihiro 165mm Nakiri and 210mm Gyuto are handcrafted using Aogami Super core steel which was heat-treated to 64 HRC.
The Aogami Super at the core of the blade, was squeezed into Stainless Steel. Also known as the "Warikomi method”
The hand chiseled Kanji is beautiful on these blades! It is so clean and masterfully executed.
The fit and finish is on point considering the ultra affordability of this knife.
These are, in my humble opinion, fantastic budget knives for a budding Chef Knives Enthusiast.
They're gorgeous. I have very high regard for anything from Yamawaki, and l had no idea these beauties were so affordable.
Me neither. Excellent beginner knives or to practice sharpening with, etc. Super affordable!
That troll killer looks like the handle is made of "jade" so nice.
Oh yeah! The Troll has some Killer heels!
Yoshihiro just rebrands knives from various other manufacturers. Some of these makes deserve more fame and recognition for their work.
Does Yoshihiro deserve more recognition for rebranding? I don't think so.
Thank you for sharing this information. I'm aware that Yamawaki works with various other blacksmiths and manufacturers and sells knives under different brand names. Which I stated in the video. I agree that the makers of the knives deserve all the credit, not the company branding them and selling them.
I own the 240mm Yoshihiro Gyuto Aogami Super Stainless Clad, the first Japanese Gyuto I own and started with. Highly value for money quality blade your money can get. Decent workhorse with great edge retention. Just a bit sand down on the spine and it will be a great joy to handle. The only thing I don't like will be the finishing on the blade will get scratch marks quite easily.
That's pretty much the same verdict as mine. And thank you for your confirmation that this is a great starter knife with high value for money.
I did not get to use these, so thank you for sharing the 'easy scratch marks' property of these blades!
Personally, I don't mind that a knife shows it is being used and showing wear and tear, as long as it ages a bit gracefully. But I can imagine that you don't like it. You could thin the blade and re-polish again to restore the finish.
Why do you say it will scratch easy? Comparable to other knives?
@GlennLaguna
Because it has a Migaki finish (polished). Every scratch will be highly visible. I'm not saying it will scratch more easily, but scratches will be easier to see on a polished blade.
A knife with, for example, a Nashiji finish, or even a Damascus finish, will not show scratches too easily because there's so much going on on the surface of the blade.
I actually own 1 Yoshihiro. It is a usuba that I rarely use but wanted to try a single bevel at an affordable price. Very fun to try advanced cutting techniques with. Not nearly as tall as my nakiris but better control for katsuramuki.
There you go. An affordable knife to try. I like Yoshihiro for offering high-end Mizu Honyaki pieces of usable art AND highly affordable knives to start with and try out.
A not so tall Usuba's are indeed nice to execute the Katsuramuki technique, although it still needs a lot of practice. Have you tried other single bevel knives as well (Deba/Yanagiba)?
Did this exact thing got a Yoshihiro 210 to practice sharpening with. A Tojiro petty too. Don’t want to ruin my nicer knives as I have only been collecting for a year or two now. And sharpening for less than that.
Looking forward to the metal flow gyuto review. Thought about getting one of those as well.
I've scratched up a fair number of knives by now (while getting them sharp but ruining the aesthetics a little...)... Keep your hands as steady as possible
Good luck on your journey!
Yup. Building muscle memory to hold a consistent angle is key! I would say it is even more about locking your hand/wrist and learning how to move your arms steadily (if that makes sense to you).
Well done again mate love the vids
Thank you for letting me know mate, much appreciate the support!
Clean knives in Aogami Super and Stainless Cladding at an affordable price is good. Yamawaki is good quality operation.
I have an Aogami 2 Hongasumi Deba with with a beautifull blonde ferule that I bought from their US shop : a work of art !
I love the look of a blonde buffalo horn ferrule.
Such a cute kitty! 😻😻😻😻😻😻
Yes he is! 😸

I love my Yoshihiro brand blades. I have quite a few from the lower end to the higher end. I found several that are the same exact knife that other brands sell made by the same great blade smith. They have a very strong presence here in the US with a big office in LA so ordering from them is super easy and fast. These are gorgeous and the Gyuto is probably going to be on my 'next' purchase list. Looking for an Aogami stainless clad. Hard to find these with the stainless completely covering the Aogami (spine included). Great video, as usual. I cannot find these particular blades on the US Yoshihiro website. Where did these come from?
These came from Burrfection.
I have ordered directly from them via their Japanese website using translate to English via email.
Who makes the knife with the geeen handle?
That's a Nigara Trollkiller, made by Go Yoshizawa. Very rare and from their High End linevof knives: www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/nigara-aogami-2-trollkiller-gyuto-24-cm
