Specifications
The Takayuki Iwai Aogami #2 damascus gyuto 210mm is a Japanese chef's knife from the "Fumon" series, forged by Takayuki Iwai. It features a core of Aogami #2 steel, a well-balanced steel, known for its sharpness, good edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The blade's damascus finish adds a unique pattern, enhancing its visual appeal. The knife's excellent fit and finish make it comfortable for use over extended periods. This gyuto is suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks, offering quality and functionality for various kitchen tasks.
❖ Master blacksmith Takayuki Iwai from Echizen was recognized as a Dentoukougeishi (Traditional Craftsman) by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in 1994. His legacy continued with his son, Takeshi Iwai, who achieved the same honor in 2006 — a significant milestone as the first instance in this field of two generations from the same family receiving such an esteemed recognition. The Iwai family's commitment to traditional handcrafting, as opposed to mass production, has been one of the many contributions to preserving and enriching the storied 700-year history of Echizen Uchi Hamono.
