Yoshida Hamono is a family company with a long tradition of hand-forging knives and tools. Yoshida Hamono specializes in particular in forging kitchen knives from ZDP-189 powdered steel.
Yoshida Black ZDP-189 kitchen knives are forged using the SAN-MAI technique, which means that the blade is three-layered, where a hard core is made of ZDP-189 powdered steel and the outer layers are made of stainless steel. Thanks to the use of the San-mai technique, the blades are durable and flexible. The blades have been hardened to a very high level of 65-67 HRC. The blades have a Kuro-uchi finish, which is an unprocessed (black) steel that gives these knives a unique look. Traces of hand-forging are visible on the blades, which makes each knife one-of-a-kind. The handles of these knives are in the traditional Japanese WA style, they are octagonal and work well for both right- and left-handed people. The knives from the Yoshida Black ZDP-189 series have the features of the best kitchen knives, ZDP-189 powdered steel, functionality, and a beautiful traditional finish.
