Kyohei Aogami Santoku (universal knife), 170 mm- Keyaki-
Kyohei Aogami Santoku,
This Japanese universal knife is a combination between a nakiri (vegetable knife) and a Gyuto (chef's knife) and can be used for meat, fish and vegetables. This hand-forged knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 "Blue paper" non-stainless carbon steel with a very nice kuroichi protective layer. The blade is sharpened on both sides. Completely hand-forged by the young master blacksmith Kyohei Shindo from Tosa, this knife is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy.
