Hand forged iron clad aogami 2 gyuto with blonde horn ferruled ebony handle. These have a tall heelย andย a robust feel with a thicker spine over the heel and belly.ย A strong distal taper makes for a nimble fine tip.
The finish grinding is excellent with a mirror finish over the face of the blade with finished spine and choil. The hand-finished flat wide bevel (kireba) will make for easy maintenance thinning.
These have a very thin grind behind the edge for smooth cuttingย but are best suited for those familiar with the demands of a Japanese knife. No twisting or scraping the edgeย and especially no cutting bones or other hard items.ย
This knife has a hard carbon steel core with iron cladding for added durability. The entire blade will develop a patina with use, especially with acidic foods. Special attention is needed to keep from rusting. Do not leave wet. Hand wash & dry, no dishwasher. Hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards are preferred; avoid bamboo and plastic cutting boards. Rust can be removed with a light abrasive.
