Customer Reviews
After years of swearing by German forged steel, I was nervous about switching to a fine-edged Japanese blade. It didn't take long to get used to the switch and I doubt that I will purchase anything but Yoshihiro from here on out. The price is very reasonable and the knifes are a great value. This knife is 2 ounces lighter than my previous chef knife, which may not sound like a big deal, but any professional who spends hours a day with their knife will tell you what a difference it makes. I love how light and attractive it is and the case that carries it. Just be aware that it is a very thin blade and could be damaged easily. I already bent the tip trying to slice through some very thick cuts of brisket. I should have been more careful but I plan on purchasing at least two more Yoshihiro knifes. Find yourself a ceramic sharpener for honing it between tasks, it will keep the blade sharp for days on end. The only thing I wasn't aware of when I bought it is that the handle is unfinished and you will need to buy some oil to do so with to keep it food safe. It's not really a complaint so much though, I stained and finished it myself and that has just made it that much more personal.
This is a amazing knife. 10/10 would buy again. I use it every single day at work in a fine dining restaurant and it's never let me down. Perfect for literally every cut. Looks great, feels great, it is great. I would 100% recommend this knife to anyone that can afford it and works in a professional manner. This is NOT a knife for the house, there are many much more affordable options for home cooking. For work environment this is perfect! The edge keeps extremely well, especially if you do regular maintenance on the bevels with a honing rod. It's resilient and keeps up with my workload (150-300 covers a night).
A beautifully made knife that will be your favorite vegetable knife. This knife was incredibly sharp straight from the box and ready to go. It's light with a thin precision blade. The only gripe that I have was with shipping. It took over two weeks for my knife to arrive but when it did, the packaging was perfect.
I have been a food service professional for 40 years and have used Henckles the entire time. They are great knives and have served me well. But, my new Yoshihiro will become my go to knife with the exception of very heavy cutting. My Henckles still have that covered.
Best knives I have ever come across, I’ll be sure to buy the full set 👍
This knife is simply outstanding in every way, trust me buy these knives and you will be amazed
