Description
Santoku knife made by the Kajihara blacksmith family, who have inherited traditional knife making techniques for four generations.
The core material is Aogami #2 carbon steel, sandwiched between multiple steels, and shaped by hand forging. While retaining the ruggedness and wildness typical of blades from the Tosa region knife, the blade has a beautiful finish with a laminated steel appearing across the entire blade. The spine has a thick, so you can tell at a glance that it is a hand forged knife.
The blade is made of carbon steel, so it will rust, but it is sharper than a stainless steel knife. And can be made very sharp depending on how you sharpen it.
- Blade : Aogami#2 Steel is one of the highest quality carbon steels from Hitachi Metals (HRC = 63). It is not stainless so it oxidizes, but it is easy to sharpen and with stone you can make more sharp than stainless steel knife.
- Handle : Octagonal walnut in classic shape.
