Hiromoto knives are are made of Hitachi Aogami Super (AS Carbon steel), an ultimate Hagane refined from Yasugi sand-rons. High carbon steel (1.40 – 1.50) with Chromium (0.30 – 0.50) and Tungsten (2.00 – 2.50) added for extra durability and longer edge retention. This core carbon steel is clad with 405 stainless steel to prevent from rusting. Full tang black Staminawood handle securely fastened with three stainless steel rivets and bolster.
This is a great knife,with great steel,at a fabulous price. If you’re on the fence about length,you should know that this knife feels shorter than it is because of it’s great profile and geometry. If you’re looking for a longer Gyuto and don’t want to break the bank account,look no further.

This knife is ideal if it’s your first foray into carbon knives.
It’s relatively easy to sharpen,maintains a wicked edge and the patina that develops looks very cool.
Finish is not grade A and the SS cladding can scratch easily but make no bones about it this is an awesome knife....!

This is my first large Japanese-made knife and my first with a high carbon steel cutting edge. This knife is more beautiful in person than most photos can capture. I’m very,very pleased with this purchase. Wonderful performance,a joy to hold and use. And since I’m new to sharpening I’m surprised and pleased to say it’s easy to sharpen to a wonderful edge. Just get one for yourself or friends!! You won’t be sorry. Tremendous value with exceptional performance.
