Material Introduction:
⭕️Aogami Super Steel: The highest-grade carbon steel developed by Hitachi Metals. Derived from increasing the carbon content of Blue #2 Steel (Aogami #2) and then Blue #1 Steel, Aogami Super offers exceptional edge retention. It is favored by experienced sharpeners due to its excellent grindability but also higher sharpening difficulty.
Knife Model Introduction:
⭕️Gyuto (Japanese Chef’s Knife): Originally designed for cutting, slicing, and preparing beef, especially wagyu. The long blade allows for smooth and continuous slicing of large meat cuts while preserving meat texture and appearance. Widely loved by professional chefs and home cooks alike, especially for precision meat preparation. Handles and blade materials vary, typically using stainless or carbon steel blades, and wooden or composite handles for comfort and control.
