AKIFUSA AOGAMI SUPER KUROUCHI TSUCHIME
The Aogami Super steel which is used for the core of these knives is seen as one of the best
performing steels used for Japanese kitchen knives by many blacksmithes. The dark Kurouchi
finishing is a hard work of art but leaves a highly performing, long-lasting and beautiful
knife in return.
Core: Aogami Super steel, hardened to HRC64-65.
Cladding: Carbon steel
Finishing: Suminagashi-Tsuchime (hammered)
Blade: Distal tapered, which leads to a better balance of the knife.
Handle: Made of rosewood Shinogi shape, which is very dirt-resistant and
robust, with packer wood bolster.
* Wenge handle is available for an additional charge.
