The core material is Yasugi Aogami Super Steel (Blue #2), sandwiched between SUS405 stainless steel. While the blade edge is prone to rust, the overall knife is rust-resistant.
Aogami Super Steel maintains its sharpness for a long time, making it suitable for those who handle large quantities of ingredients daily.
The handle is made from high-grade rosewood, offering a luxurious feel and excellent fit in the hand.
Its moderate weight allows the blade to easily cut through ingredients without excessive force, making it ideal for processing large fish and meat.
■Why we carry this knife
Even today, two skilled craftsmen perform everything from forging to sharpening, creating each knife carefully rather than through mass production.
A successor to this technique has not yet been decided, so it is uncertain if it will continue in the same form in the future.
At Japan knife TOKU, we actually visited the workshop in Tanegashima and observed the manufacturing process.
We were touched by the craftsmen's work and resonated with their philosophy, leading us to continue carrying their products.
■After-sales Support
Purchasing a knife is not the end of the journey.
Japan knife TOKU offers resharpening and repair services, and you can consult us about post-purchase maintenance.
For those who wish to sharpen their knives themselves, sharpening courses are available at our store.
