Kyusakichi Steak Set ZDP189

Anyone who has had the honor of personally getting to know the Kyusakichi Steak Set Black will certainly agree that this is a truly original product. The design of a Michelin-starred chef was brought to life by the masters of Yoshida Hamono. Looking at this unique set, you will automatically be transported back several centuries.

Yoshida Hamono is one of the few manufacturers that has accepted the challenge of processing the ultra-hard ZDP189 steel produced by Hitachi Metals. The fact that they have successfully completed this task is confirmed by the Kyusakichi ZDP189 knife series, which have immediately become a sought-after item for fans of exceptional knives. It is therefore logical that the top edition of the Kyusakichi Steak Set project has been awarded this exclusive material.

While the Black edition has a historical look with its matte black finish, the Kyusakichi Steak Set ZDP189 in silver literally floats above the table. Not only the subtle design, but also the color itself evokes lightness. The polished blade and fork tastefully contrast with the matte handles and the storage tray. The impact of light on these different surfaces creates an interesting effect. Since this is the flagship of the entire edition, the in-house Damascus construction cannot be missed.

This limited edition, together with its sister Black, creates the right unity of opposites, precisely in the sign of the Yin and Yang philosophy. And not only visually. Even the grip itself is different. The rough black version contrasts with the soft silver. It's up to you which one you choose.
