Japanese precision steel that retains sharpness longer
The Aogami steel (Blue Paper Steel) in this knife contains small amounts of tungsten and chromium, resulting in a harder edge than traditional knives. With a hardness of 62 HRC, the knife maintains its exceptional sharpness through prolonged use, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. The handmade construction ensures that every cut is clean and precise, whether you're chopping fine herbs or tackling more demanding ingredients.
Balanced comfort with natural materials
The octagonal handle made from Rengas wood (Bornean rosewood) combined with oak bolsters not only offers a visually appealing look but also provides an ergonomic and secure grip. This combination of materials minimizes hand fatigue during extended use while ensuring maximum control. The small wedges that secure the handle guarantee a robust construction that stands up to daily use in both professional and home kitchens.
Maintaining your handmade masterpiece
To preserve the knife's quality and performance, proper maintenance is required. Always wash the knife by hand immediately after use and dry it thoroughly. Regularly apply a thin layer of oil to the blade to protect against rust. Avoid using a dishwasher, as it can damage both the steel and the handle. With proper care, this knife will be a loyal companion in the kitchen for many years.
