This Enso Hand-Forged Aogami Super Gyuto is a multi-purpose 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. The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of a western chef's knife but with a slightly flatter curve to the edge. Each Enso Hand-Forged Aogami Super knife has a slightly different appearance and size because the blade is hand-forged and the handle is teak wood. The 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. Each Enso Hand-Forged Aogami Super knife is made by hand using a traditional free forging technique inherited by Japanese swordsmiths.
