Overview
The Yoshikane SKD Nashiji Gyuto 240 mm No Handle offers you the freedom to customize with your choice of handle, blending Yoshikane’s legendary craftsmanship with your personal ergonomics. This semi-stainless SKD core, clad in stainless steel and finished with a distinctive nashiji (“pear-skin”) texture, delivers razor-sharp performance, excellent edge retention, and a beautiful patina with age. It's crafted by Yoshikane Hamono in Sanjo, Niigata—home to over a century of knife-making excellence.
Common Questions
Q: Can I install a custom handle myself?
A: Absolutely. This “no-handle” version arrives ready for your custom wa-handle installation—perfect for tailoring balance and fit to your preference, or matching existing Tokushu Knife handles.
Q: How should I care for this semi-stainless SKD steel?
A: Although SKD is more rust-resistant than carbon steel, it's still semi-stainless. Always hand-wash, towel-dry immediately, and avoid leaving it wet. Over time, a light patina may develop—that’s normal and protective. Use a strop with compound for maintenance, and sharpen carefully on whetstones. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and hard surfaces. For further guidance, consider Tokushu’s leather strop or maintenance oil to preserve your edge beautifully.
