Yoshihiro Knives Reviews

From the first cut to months of daily use, Yoshihiro knives deliver an exceptional blend of sharpness, balance, and durability. Here’s what professionals have to say about their firsthand experience:

When it comes to sushi, precision is everything, and the Yoshihiro NSSU240SHMS Sujihiki Japanese Slicer Knife has transformed the way I prepare sashimi and delicate fish cuts. The blade is incredibly thin and sharp, allowing for ultra-clean slices with minimal pressure—essential for preserving the integrity of high-quality fish. I’ve worked with countless knives throughout my career, but this one stands out for its balance, lightweight feel, and flawless craftsmanship. The handle fits naturally in my grip, reducing hand fatigue even during long prep hours. What impresses me most is how effortlessly it slices through proteins, leaving no tearing or sawing marks. Whether I’m cutting paper-thin slices of tuna or breaking down whole fillets, this knife is an absolute game-changer. If you’re serious about Japanese cuisine, investing in this Sujihiki is a no-brainer. Unlike Western-style slicers, which often require a back-and-forth motion, this Sujihiki glides through proteins in a single, smooth stroke. This is critical when working with raw fish, as excessive pressure or multiple cuts can affect texture and presentation. I’ve used this knife on everything from fatty tuna to delicate flounder, and every slice is flawless. The blade also performs exceptionally well with cooked meats—I’ve carved through roasted duck and Wagyu beef with the same ease and precision. The durability of this knife is another major selling point. Despite daily use in a high-demand kitchen, the edge retention is incredible, requiring only minimal touch-ups with a whetstone. The construction is second to none, and you can tell it’s designed to last a lifetime. I also appreciate the subtle yet elegant design—it’s a tool that looks as good as it performs. If you’re looking for the ultimate slicing knife, whether for sushi, steaks, or charcuterie, this Yoshihiro Sujihiki is worth every penny.

Sushi Chef, High-End Japanese Restaurant

As an executive chef, I’ve used a variety of high-end knives, but nothing compares to the precision and craftsmanship of my Yoshihiro NSGY210AHMS Gyuto Japanese Knife. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell this was something special. The balance in my hand is perfect, and the edge is scalpel-sharp right out of the box. I work long shifts, prepping everything from delicate fish to thick cuts of beef, and this knife glides through every ingredient effortlessly. The Damascus steel pattern is not just beautiful—it reduces food sticking to the blade, making prep work more efficient. After months of daily use, the edge retention is still outstanding, requiring only light honing to maintain its razor-sharp performance. This knife has become my absolute go-to in the kitchen, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made in my culinary career. What really sets this knife apart is the weight distribution. It’s not too heavy, but it has just enough heft to allow for clean, controlled cuts without needing excessive force. I’ve used knives that feel too blade-heavy or unbalanced, making precise cuts more difficult over time, but this Gyuto is perfectly balanced for both chopping and slicing motions. Whether I’m dicing onions, julienning vegetables, or breaking down a large cut of meat, this knife feels like an extension of my hand. The handle is also worth mentioning—crafted for comfort, it doesn’t cause any fatigue even after hours of use. In my restaurant, speed and precision are key, and this knife allows me to move quickly without sacrificing accuracy. I’ve recommended this knife to my fellow chefs, and every single one has been impressed. If you’re looking for a high-performance, professional-grade chef’s knife that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality, this is the one. I’ll never go back to anything else.

Executive Chef, Fine Dining Restaurant

I’ve always been passionate about cooking and have built quite a collection of high-quality knives, but the Yoshihiro NSUS160SH Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife has completely redefined my vegetable prep. From the first use, I was amazed at how effortlessly it slices through even the toughest root vegetables. The blade is razor-sharp and holds its edge far longer than other knives I’ve used, even with daily chopping. The squared-off tip and flat profile make it perfect for push-cutting through onions, peppers, carrots, and even delicate herbs without bruising them. What I love most is the solid yet comfortable feel of the handle—it provides excellent control, making precise cuts easy. The attention to detail in its craftsmanship is second to none, and it has quickly become my favorite knife in the kitchen. Whether you're a professional or a passionate home cook like me, this Nakiri is an essential tool that makes prepping vegetables a joy rather than a chore. I’ve used many Nakiri knives before, but the difference in quality with this Yoshihiro model is immediately noticeable. The thin, straight blade profile ensures that every cut is even, making prep work faster and more efficient. I no longer have to deal with uneven slices or vegetables cracking under pressure. Even with harder vegetables like sweet potatoes and butternut squash, the knife slices through with no resistance. Another aspect I love is the handle—it has a traditional octagonal shape that fits naturally in my grip, providing excellent control and reducing wrist fatigue. The weight is just right—not too heavy, but substantial enough to feel sturdy and reliable. Cleaning is also a breeze since food doesn’t stick to the blade as much as with my previous knives. Since purchasing this Nakiri, I’ve found myself actually looking forward to chopping vegetables, which is something I never thought I’d say! It has transformed my cooking experience, making meal prep smoother and more enjoyable. If you want a knife that is both a work of art and a high-performance kitchen tool, this Yoshihiro Nakiri is the one to get.
