Yoshinori SCX Series Niitakayama Differentially Tempered Stainless Monosteel Tachi-style Double Bevel Yanagi

What is Taiwan? A land shaped by deep currents, historic shadows, and an unyielding spirit. Moving beyond the era of original equipment manufacturing, we challenge ourselves: can this island redefine its own craftsmanship?

Enter Niitakayama, named after the historic title of Mount Jade, which once surpassed Mount Fuji to become the highest summit of the realm. Uplifted by Formosan tectonic forces and forged through the shared mastery of Taiwan and Japan, this knife transcends physical borders, shattering boundaries to define a new, unmatched pinnacle of steel.

Core Technologies & Specifications

Combining top-tier Japanese heat treatment with master polishing executed in Taiwan, this series features traditional "differential spine tempering" and full hand-grinding, completely free from mass-stamped production.

• Heat Treatment: Crafted from monosteel with "differential spine tempering" to balance edge hardness with resilient spine.
• Skeletonized Blade Cutouts: High-precision, one-of-a-kind cutouts along each blade significantly reduce weight while creating a physical non-stick air gap during slicing.
• Dual-Tone Polish: Hand-ground by Taiwanese craftsmen using dedicated Honyaki polishing techniques, creating a refined contrast between a fine satin matte surface and a radiant mirror finish.
• Dual-Urasuki Ultra-Thin Edge Geometry: Solves the common issue of blades thickening behind the edge over time. The dual-urasuki structure ensures the blade remains effortless to thin down across repeated resharpenings, preserving long-term razor sharpness.

Usage & Positioning

Positioned as a "Concept Knife," this series is tailored for collection, appreciation, and front-of-house demonstrations rather than routine kitchen prep.

• Presentation-Oriented Design: The extended length is engineered for live counter showmanship, while the geometry, structural integrity, and steel specification all strictly adhere to practical cutting standards.
• Ideal Applications: Precision slicing of premium ingredients, such as sashimi, yakiniku, and steak at chef's counters or omakase bars.
• Intended Use: Collection, artistic appreciation, exhibition display, and counter slicing performance.
• Not Recommended For: Routine daily kitchen prep work.

Slicing premium ingredients on omakase bars, every motion becomes a visual feast, the ultimate companion for master craftsmen showcasing professional artistry.
