{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_g-UG85QF","product_name":"Yoshikane SKD Nashiji Gyuto 210mm with Mono Ebony Handle","category":"Gyuto Knife","description":"Overview\nThe Yoshikane SKD Nashiji Gyuto 210mm with Mono Ebony Handle is a high-performance Sanjo-made Japanese chef knife built for cooks who want clean cutting feel, excellent food release, and a refined but practical finish. Yoshikane is known for pronounced distal taper, confident convex geometry, and blades that feel powerful at the heel while becoming extremely thin behind the tip. This gyuto is especially well suited for slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, push cutting, and precise tip work.\nThe SKD semi-stainless core steel gives this knife strong edge retention with easier maintenance than fully reactive carbon steel. It is stainless clad, so most of the blade is low-maintenance, while the exposed cutting edge may still develop a light patina with use. The nashiji, or “pear skin,” finish gives the blade a soft textured look and helps disguise everyday handling marks.\nThis version is paired with a robust mono ebony handle, chosen by Tokushu Knife after customer feedback showed it was the preferred pairing for this blade. The added density of the ebony handle helps balance out Yoshikane’s substantial Sanjo-style spine and forward cutting power, giving the knife a more planted, controlled feel in hand without taking away from the thin, precise tip performance Yoshikane is known for.\nFor cooks asking, “Is the Yoshikane SKD Nashiji Gyuto good for professional prep?” the answer is yes. This knife has the cutting authority, edge retention, and confident geometry serious cooks expect, while still being approachable for careful home users. The 210mm size is one of the most versatile gyuto lengths, offering enough blade length for larger ingredients without feeling oversized on a home cutting board.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is the Yoshikane SKD Nashiji Gyuto 210mm good for home cooks?\nA: Yes. This is an excellent choice for home cooks who want a serious Japanese chef knife with premium cutting performance. It is thinner and harder than a German-style chef knife, so it ","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-01_433d8b28-2d41-471c-a4e5-30c3e9644bdb.jpg?v=1780855947","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-02_b50fe5e9-b82b-4cd1-b0af-25f603db37ba.jpg?v=1780855947","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-03_bde4a05c-2827-4ea7-91ff-e000d54d2387.jpg?v=1780855947","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-04_fc146d56-23e1-408a-8c17-c2b3f2ee71c7.jpg?v=1780855947","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-05_b810f5ae-20cc-49e4-9d4f-f6a53663ac0e.jpg?v=1780855947","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshikane-skd-nashiji-gyuto-210mm-mono-ebony-handle-06_c67b8c41-43c3-4b58-84c8-66da9fc530a4.jpg?v=1780855947"],"price":420,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:30.177Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_g-UG85QF","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
