Yoshida Hamono Funkai Santoku Knife

Yoshida Hamono Aogami #2 Funkai Santoku Knife

Key Advantages

• True Japanese Craft — Forged in Japan by the heritage bladesmiths of Yoshida Hamono, marrying centuries of skill with modern consistency.

• Aogami #2 Blue Steel Core (62–64 HRC) — Ultra-fine carbon steel takes a razor edge and holds it, so your mirepoix stays uniform from first carrot to last.

• Funkai Santoku Hybrid Profile – 165 mm / 6.5″ — A subtle belly curve meets a slightly thicker heel for more power on the push cut — great when a full-size gyuto is overkill, and a petty just won’t cut it.

• Lightweight & Nimble — Designed for speed and control across meat, fish, and vegetables—the “do-it-all” blade rooted in fishermen’s onboard prep traditions.

• 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty — Premium craftsmanship protected for the long run.
