Kagemitsu ミノガワ Minogawa Tsuchime, Santoku 180 mm (universal knife), Aogami Super Steel -western style handle-
SKU: 02501Kagemitsu Minogawa Santoku
Double-sided sharpened and laminated (Sanmai) blade of non-stainless steel with a core of Japanese Aogami Super steel (Blue paper steel). The blade is extremely thin and manually sharpened and has no thickening, which makes sharpening on Japanese water stones very easy.
These knives are made in the Ishizuchi forge in Japan. The Aogami Super core steel is forged between two layers of softer steel, this outer layer is made of hammered steel which gives a very nice Tsuchime pattern so that products stick to the blade less quickly. It also ensures that the core steel is well protected against possible damage and oxidation.
You can order this knife with the beautiful engraving (with flower) or without engraving (or with your own name in Kanji characters),
