Kurosaki Fujin AS santoku (universal knife), 170 mm
Kurosaki Fujin AS Santoku
This Japanese santoku knife has a core of non-rust resistant Japanese Aogami Super steel with an outer layer of non-rust resistant steel. AS steel is one of the most sought-after carbon steels in Japanese kitchen knives. The steel is characterized by high hardness and high toughness without the steel being brittle. This steel is perfect for regular use in the kitchen and is easy to sharpen but it is not rust resistant. Stains may appear over time. This double-sided sharpened knife has a very nice hammered pattern. This knife is completely hand-forged by master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki and is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, making sharpening very easy.
