Hand-forged in Tokyo, Japan by Teruyasu Fujiwara, this 240mm Denka gyuto has an Aogami Super core at ~66 HRC with stainless cladding and a tsuchime kurouchi finish. The kurouchi finish gives it a traditional, rustic aesthetic. The stainless cladding keeps maintenance manageable. Aogami Super is known for exceptional edge retention. Fujiwara's heat treat is well regarded among enthusiasts: harder than most, without the brittleness you'd expect at that hardness. Sharpens easily on stones. An all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife for cooks who want high-performance carbon steel and easy upkeep.
