Anryu Aokami Tsuchime Santoku,

This Japanese universal knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 carbon steel with a softer stainless steel coating on the outside with a nice hammer blow (Tsuchime). This is called Sanmai and can only be found in knives that have been forged using the method of forging in Japan. This knife is completely hand-forged by the sucessor of Katsushige Anryu, Ikeda-san. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy. Aogami steel is extremely hard but easy to sharpen yourself on Japanese water stones. The Santoku is the typical universal knive used in the Japanese kitchen, it can be used for meat, fish, vegetables and for chopping herbs.
