Description

 

  • Type: Gyuto
  • Finish: Kurouchi
  • Blade Length: 210 mm (8.3 in)
  • Construction: Hon-Warikomi
  • Core Edge Steel: Aogami (Blue) #2
  • HRC (Rockwell Hardness): 61-63
  • Handle: Walnut
  • Bevel: Double-Bevel
  • Place of Origin: Tosa, Japan

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) #2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to White Steel #1. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules, which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Blue Steel #2 is very similar to White Steel #1 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Absolutely Perfect!

I absolutely adore this knife, the quality is amazing! It cuts through onions with no problem, and slices steak seamlessly. The craftsmanship is readily apparent. It’s very lightweight and well balanced. There was an issue with the shipping label but that was quickly solved with easy and professional communication. I would love to have another one of these knives!

Bellissimo

Sono contentissimo di averlo acquistato, è bellissimo;
Appena aperta la scatola ho subito tagliato delle patate crude , mai provato qualcosa di simile, sono rimasto sbalordito dalla facilità di taglio e dal fatto che ho ottenuto delle fettine sottilissime senza alcuno sforzo. Il coltello pesa 172 grammi ed è bilanciato sulla punta, devo solo abituarmi visto che al momento posseggo coltelli bilanciati al centro. Consiglio l'acquisto, sono veramente contento e ringrazio yoshimune 😃
