Talented forge-smith Master Yamamoto, of Takefu City, recently finished these unique Kurouchi (“Black-forged”) finished Aogami Super Knives. The blade core is made from Japan’s premium high carbon steel, Hitachi Aogami Super (“Blue Super Steel”) (HRc. 64), is sandwiched between two layers of corrosion-resistant, soft stainless steel – a steel that is not often combined with a Kurouchi finish. Because Aogami Super is somewhat corrosion-resistant, these knives should not require a lot of maintenance. However, please note that the exposed blade core can discolor or rust if it is exposed to acid, salt or water for a long time.
Each knife is fitted with a comfortable octagonal Walnut-wood handle, which has a Black Pakkawood ferrule that nicely complements the black Kurouchi blade.
Now you can enjoy a knife that has not only a powerful traditional-style Kurouchi finish, but also an Aogami Super blade that offers outstanding cutting performance and edge holding!
The Bunka is a general-purpose kitchen knife that used to be just as popular as the Santoku, but has become less commonplace in recent years. With its tall blade, the Bunka knife is particularly suitable for cutting vegetables or fruit and the triangular tip area is particularly useful for detailed work and cutting fish or meat.
Very balanced knife. Great for every day work in restaurants kitchen
Excellent knife and instantly has become my favourite and go to knife. Beautiful in appearance and extremely sharp out of the box. Cut through paper test passed with flying colours. Highly recommend.
The knife is my go to knife at the moment all the time, usually at home due to one of my other knive from the Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan series being stolen at work. This is a pretty heavy knife for someone who's not prepared for this. Took me a while to get used to its weight, but after that? Stunning, keeps the edge extremely well even after chopping some harder vegetables. The handle is pretty comfortable, it was my first Japanese style knife so it took a little bit of getting used to it, but definitely worth it. For the price, I would strongly recommend this knife.
