Toyama aogami#2 240mm gyuto: This hand-forged gyuto is the work of Shuji Toyama-san, an 83-year-old master blacksmith from Sanjo, Japan. Toyama knives are celebrated for their superior craftsmanship, particularly the excellent heat treatment of aogami#2 steel and the finely tuned grind. These knives feature a notable convexity paired with an impressively thin edge (nail-flexing thin!), creating a combination that ensures superior cutting performance. The Toyama aogami#2 240mm gyuto is a powerhouse of performance – it's a classic favorite among enthusiasts and collectors for good reason.
