Made exclusively for CKTG by a leading blacksmith in Japan, the Kohetsu AS line of blades are thin, light, and strong. We have specified an HRC rate of 64 to ensure a high level of edge retention and low maintenance requirement. This carbon steel core is reinforced by the use of a stainless steel cladding. Of course the exposed carbon steel will patina with use but this oxidation only serves to enhance the look and protection of the cutting edge.
A nicely shaped and finished pakka wood handle gives the knife a light and well-balanced feel. This is a simple and elegant knife, a tool made to perform with ease and efficiency.
The Kohetsu Aogami Super Gyuto will find favor in any home or professional setting. A great blade at a great price.
Please note, the knife sharpener intentionally thins the edges of these knives to make them perform better, especially on the tip area. Oftentimes you will see a hazy/cloudy scratch pattern as a result. This is not a defect.Brand: Kohetsu

Frankly this is the best knife, chef or otherwise, Ive ever used. Now I am not a pro chef but I have worked in a restaurant kitchen or two over the years, I also know how to put a fair to Midland edge on a piece of steel, given that, I was stunned by this knife. Sharp no longer applies to any other kitchen knife Ive ever used compared to this. If others say this knife needs some touchup out of the box, well more power to them if they think that, maybe they know something I dont. I dont know about others but I surely have a new appreciation of the term scary sharp. I never knew how well a truly excellent knife could handle and with such ease, cut not bludgeon you way through things, sub millimeter thin slices of garlic, not a problem even easy. This is one fun knife to use. Ive used this knife a pretty fair bit over the last two weeks or so eviews/ssl/yreview_reviews.php?RevID=2607&Score=1')>Yes No
