Gyuto Knife, Aogami 1 Carbon Steel with Soft Iron Cladding, mirror polished finish, Choyo range - Sakai Kikumori
SHAPE: Gyuto. Japan's answer to the chef's knife with a thinner profile. Gyuto translates to cow sword
STEEL: Aogami (blue paper) 1 steel. This is very similar to white paper steel but with tungsten and chromium added to it which helps with edge retention and slows down rusting. The difference between blue 1 and 2 is the amount of carbon present with 1 being the highest. Due to the non stainless nature of this steel care must be taken to dry the knives properly after use.
FINISH: Mirror polished. Please note that the colourful pattern on the blade, visible in the photos, is the result of the temporary oil layer on the steel.

BLADE LENGTH: 210mm and 240mm.
