Description

This Moritaka Aogami #2 Carbon Steel Gyuto is a multi-purpose Western style knife, designed for slicing meat, fish, and cutting a head of cabbage and more. It's also useful for those in the meat industry who cut large amounts of meat. Moritaka selects the highest quality Aogami #2 steel in the YSS range for the core carbon steel because of the extra durability and longer edge retention. Aogami #2 steel is made by adding chromium and tungsten to Shirogami (white steel, the purest of the carbon steels), which makes the material more durable and provides corrosion resistance. Each knife has slightly different appearance and size because the blade is hand-forged and the handle is natural walnut wood. Double-bevel edge is more robust than a single edge and less prone to chip or nick because both sides of the edge are equally supported, so the hard core of steel is supported on both sides. Easy to use since the cutting edge cuts straight down without wanting to twist. The tang of knife is made of stainless steel.

    Authentic Piece

    While I am not a chef and just a everyday cook. I was tired of my wife using regular dull kitchen knives. I barely could cut a lemon with honestly. So I became a knive collector in searching for a better way. I love the moritaaka. I own three different style of them sharp sharp sharp. I am a big fan now of Japanese knives and does prefer their original handle and their handling over Western knives. That said Western handle with Japanese blade would definitely be a winner for most. But me personally like the traditional Japanese style. Stainless steel is cool and VG10. But I like the effort to take care of the Aogami steel after each use. It reminds me of the pride the artisan place in his work. This knive is crazy sharp and well balanced. It's a beauty to behold in appreciation of its construction. I love them my wife loves them. Even though I ain't no chef I enjoy using these knives when I can.
