Aogami Super/Stainless Steel Clad:
Aogami Super/Stainless Steel Clad:
The knife is made from Aogami Super/Blue Super steel cladded in Stainless steel. Aogami Super/Blue Super steel is known for its fantastic edge retention and sharpness. It can hold an edge for very long periods and can also be sharpened super sharp. The exposed Aogami Super core of the blade is reactive steel, and extra care and maintenance is critical. It’s always a good idea to wipe your blade with a damp towel while working, especially with high acidic foods like onion, lemons, etc., until a patina has developed on the blade.
Also, make sure to wash and dry your knives properly after use. We like to use paper towels to dry our carbon steel knives as this absorbs the most moisture. Over time, the exposed Aogami Super/Blue Super steel Core will develop a Patina. This oxidation will usually be grey to dark grey, protecting your knife from harmful Rust. The knife will slowly start building its character.
Most Japanese knives are made with a much harder steel than their Western counterparts. Harder steel can be sharpened much sharper and hold an edge for long periods. Never cut through bones, frozen foods, butternut stems, lemongrass, etc. This can result in a chipped blade. Hard steel is much more delicate than softer steel.

Kiritsuke
Kiritsuke Knife (切付包丁 – pronounced: Kiritsuke Bōchō) literally translated from Japanese means to ‘slit open’. The name insinuates that it finely slices open produce which is true as it is used for delicately opening up and producing smooth cuts.
The Kiritsuke is one of the few traditional multipurpose Japanese knives and the long sword-like design allows it to perform multiple tasks such as cutting vegetables and slicing fish. The straight blade profile and the edge does not allow for rock-cutting vegetables. A pull-cut motion for slicing raw fish and a push-cut motion for slicing vegetables should be applied.
The Kitisuke knife has a long, sword-like shape with a flat blade and a reverse tanto tip. The long length allows for easy slicing and the tip for precision work. The Kiritsuke has a single-bevel edge allowing it to be extremely sharp. Traditional Japanese knives characteristically have single-bevel edges. Most single-bevel knives are right-handed so if you are left-handed make sure to request.
Best for: Meat, Fish, Herbs, Vegetables
