The history of Tosaichi Hamono can be traced back 800 years and is rooted in traditional forging techniques developed over the centuries coupled with new age techniques that make for some really beautiful knives at affordable prices. They work with a wide variety of steels which allows them to offer knives that are suitable for many people. Knives from the Tosaichi AO Super line are designed to be lasers. They are thin at the spine and come quite thin behind the edge for a great cutting feel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Tosaichi Ao Super series of knives feature a stainless clad, Aogami-super core hardened to 62-63, magnolia handles with Black Pakka wood ferrules and a very sleek finish. While the term “laser” is very subjective we don’t often see knives much thinner and lighter than these.

This is the most versatile knife shape and the first one we recommend the people starting out their collection of Japanese knives. From rocking, chopping, slicing, push cutting and more, the gyuto has you covered. Pair it with a petty knife and there isn't a job you can't do in the kitchen, and consider other shapes more task specific knives to add in as the need arises !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" 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).
