Gyuto 180 mm (7.1 in) Blue#1
- Type: Gyuto
- Finish: Kurouchi
- Blade Length: 180 mm (7.1 in)
- Construction: Awase
- Core Edge Steel: Aogami (Blue) #1
- HRC (Rockwell Hardness): 62-63
- Handle: Walnut Octagonal

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.
Blue (Aogami) #1 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Blue Steel #1. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules, which improve edge retention.
* This is handmade product, so there may be slight difference from the actual image.
* Please note that for our Blue #1 high carbon steel knives, the tip is slightly ground down intentionally by the blacksmith to help prevent larger chips from occurring.
