Blade Type
Blade Type

The Santoku knife, a classic in Japanese kitchens, translates to "three virtues," symbolizing its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, versatile blade and a balanced design, it's ideal for a range of tasks, from cutting meat to chopping vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose tool.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Fantastic knife!

This is a fantastic night for the money. I bought it as a gift and of course had to try it out real quick before I actually gifted it and I was very pleasantly, surprised and impressed. Overall fit and finish is quite good, and it came out of the box very, very sharp. No complaints whatsoever and would definitely buy another one.
