Kazoku Aogami Super Yo Kiritsuke 24 cm

An extra deluxe version of the chef's knife from the Aogami series, made of Aogami Blue Paper Super steel. For the lover of extreme sharpness!

About this series
Aogami Blue Paper Super Steel is the superlative of Blue Paper Steel #2. Additional additions of chromium, tungsten and carbon make the blade of this variant even harder and tougher. In other words, the blade is less vulnerable and stays sharp even longer. Like Blue Paper Steel #2, it can be sharpened to extreme sharpness. Combined with the thin blade, this produces a knife that cuts like no other.

Characteristics of Aogami Super steel
The core is made of Aogami Blue Paper Super Steel. This is a pure steel with special qualities. The blade is very hard (between 63 and 64 HRC) and can be sharpened very sharply. It stays sharp much longer. Aogami steel is also remarkably easy to sharpen.

The hard steel is protected by 2 layers of stainless steel with a kurouchi finish. This is the black forged skin. This makes the knife less susceptible to drops and bumps and less likely to rust. The knife is finished with a tsuchime (hammer finish) which makes food less sticky.

Handle
The handle is made of pakka wood and ergonomically shaped. This knife immediately lies well in the hand and continues to cut nicely even with prolonged use.

Good to know
This is a knife for the enthusiast. Someone who handles it with care. Aogami is not rustproof and the knife should therefore be wiped with a cloth immediately after use. This way, no brown rust layer will form, but over time the knife will acquire a patina layer. This blue-gray layer gives the knife character and forms a natural protective layer.
