Moriya Munemitsu YHC 3-piece Gift Set Yanagiba + Santoku + Chu Deba
Product Description
・ Three stainless G-series knives from Moriya Munemitsu YHC.
・ Quality leather-patterned, black gloss, gold-embossed card box.
The G-series offers Japanese sharpness in a light, low-maintenance package. Full-tang three-rivet construction lends strength and balance. Sculpted goban wood fibre and resin handles are beautiful and durable and feel great in the hand. Gingami#3 steel combines high rust-resistance with hardness and sharpness comparable to carbon steel.
The Moriya Munemitsu G-series knives have much to recommend them, not least of which from the Japanese perspective is trust in the brand. For readers curious about the logo and letters YHC on the box cover, the circular logo is that of steelmaker YSS (Yasugi Specialty Steel) and YHC stands for Yasugi Hagane Cutlery.
Yes, knives produced by a subsidiary of the steelmaker. Quality knives.
