Our Yoshihiro HAP40 High Speed Stainless Steel Knife Set includes three essential Japanese knives: a 210mm Gyuto, a 180mm Santoku, and a 180mm Nakiri. Each knife is handcrafted using state-of-the-art techniques and designed to deliver exceptional cutting performance, edge retention, and versatility in the kitchen.

Made with HAP40 (Funmatsu Haisu) stainless steel, this high-speed steel is forged at extremely high temperatures, allowing for even dispersion of metallic elements. The result is a blade with a remarkable Rockwell hardness of 65-66, capable of maintaining its razor-sharp edge through extended use.

Each knife features a core clad in softer stainless steel for added toughness and easier maintenance. The ambidextrous octagonal premium ebony wood handle, paired with a double bolster, offers balance, comfort, and control. A magnolia wood saya cover is included for each knife, offering natural resistance to stains and odors while keeping the blades protected.
