Originally a Western meat knife, it's also used for fish and vegetables due to its versatility. Its long blade is favored by professionals but can still be used by casuals and cooking enthusiasts. Its double-bevel blade is a fine choice for both right and left-handed people.

Aogami-Super (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is one of the most outstanding Japanese carbon steels. In addition to containing more Carbon, Chromium, and Tungsten than Blue Steel #1, it includes Molybdenum. It has exceptional edge sharpness and excellent edge retention but can also attain high hardness without being brittle. Consequently, many knife enthusiasts rate Aogami Super as one of the world's best high carbon steels.
