SKU: Subarashī_G240_yakiFukushima 素晴らしい Subarashī, Gyuto 210mm
This Japanese chef's knife has a core of Japanese Aogami super carbon steel (Super Blue Paper) with a protective layer on the outside (Sanmai). This double-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by the master blacksmith Fukushima-san from the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan (Kyushu Island). The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy.
