Santoku Knife, Aogami 2 with Iron cladding, Kasumi finish - Tetsujin Hamono
SHAPE: Santoku. Named after the three best things to do with this knife - slicing, dicing and mincing. It is the classic veg prep knife with both good breadth and width.
STEEL: Aogami (blue paper) 2 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. This steel differs from Blue 1 in its carbon content, Blue 2 being slightly less. Due to the non stainless nature of this steel care must be taken to dry the knives properly after use.
FINISH: Kasumi polish - a hazy, almost matte, effect on the blade. The marbling pattern on the blade is the effect of microstructural binding of the elements in the alloy.
HANDLE: Octagonal Ebony or Teak handle with Buffalo Horn ferule
BLADE LENGTH: 180mm.
MAKER: Tetsujin Hamono, Tosa
SAUNDERS SAYS: "An immaculately forged and finished knife"
