The “Aogami Super Black Forged Knife” has a blade core of Aogami Super that is sandwiched between two layers of corrosion-resistant soft stainless steel. The laminated blade is decorated with a Tsuchime (“Hammered pattern”) texture and a traditional Japanese Kurouchi (“Literally, “Black-forged”) finish that ads a touch of rustic style. This knife is available with Ironwood’ handle scales that have a rich warm color and dramatic figuring.
The handle is carefully contoured by hand to ensure that it can be gripped comfortably and are fitted with a stainless steel bolster for improved durability and blade balance.
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.
For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for long times.

the knife has very good balance. it has some weight to it but it makes it feel very stable when using it.
This knife was recommended by my son Jeff Brinkman who has bought knives from you previously. The one I bought is awesome and so glad I made this purchase. The experience with your company was so easy and I received my knife earlier then I thought I would.
I really enjoy this knive. The craftsmanship is of a high quality, paying nice attention to the details. It is well-balanced and feels great while holding it. The handle is somewhat thin with a nice polish and I enjoy the seamless transition from wood to metal. I also enjoy the rustic tsuchime and the warm ironwood color. It has an overall elegant look. Simple and subtle. This knive is a great teacher!
This is now my “go to” knife. Unless I need a smaller blade or my Saji chefs knife, this santoku is the one. Versatile. Holds it edge for a superfine cut. Beautiful balance and hand fit. I am in awe at the craftsmanship in this blade. Thank you Master Saji
