These aogami super gyuto are the first to arrive at the shop from an order we placed long ago and they were certainly worth waiting for. They are slightly blade heavy but relatively light overall. The aogami super core steel sharpens in a flash, takes a screaming sharp edge and will hold it for a long time.

While they normally have a flatter profile than a western style chef's knife with more of an upturned tip meant for an improved rocking motion, this one is somewhere in between with a smooth swept belly and a good sized flat spot for chopping. The height of the blade combined with the hybrid profile makes this an incredibly versatile knife. These knives are very thin and have a high grind making them perform very well, it should be noted that this thinness will make this knife more delicate and should be used with caution. Please carefully read the care instructions found below to ensure you don't cause damage to the knife through user error. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding).
