KIYOKANE Chef's Knife 240mm, Aogami Super Steel, Kurouchi Double Bevel Japanese Gyuto

This is a traditional forged knife made by a blacksmith, using Aogami Super steel, which is highly valued for professional knives because of its exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge. However, it is prone to rusting and requires regular maintenance. Due to its handmade nature, there may be some small irregularities that we do not recommend for those who are not fond of such imperfections. Please note that we do not accept returns or claims related to these small flaws as they are indicative of the handmade process.

The knife has a blade length of approximately 240mm (9.4 inches), a total length of 400mm (15.7 inches) and weighs around 205g (7.2oz). The blade is made of Aogami Super Steel, also known as Blue Paper Steel, with a high carbon content and a hardness of around HRC64 +/- 1. It is suitable for cutting meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits, and is designed with a double bevel, making it suitable for both right and left-handed users. The knife features a wooden handle and is recommended for individuals with knowledge of knife sharpening.

This knife is proudly made in Japan by Tosa craftsmen, known for their dedication and skill. The Kurouchi finish gives the knife a rough appearance, reflecting the spirit of the Tosa craftsmen. This product is a must-have for lovers of Japanese handmade items, as the craftsmen use their expertise to transform the materials through hammering, resulting in small scratches, flaws, and bends that serve as proof of its handmade nature. Although it may appear rougher than machine-made knives, the quality is exceptional and cannot be replicated by machines.

Come and witness the miracles created by Japanese craftsmen!
