Product Description

Aogami Super is about as good as it gets when it comes to Japanese cutlery steels. High hardness, amazing sharpness, terrific edge retention. Even better when it's worked into a fine gyuto blade by one of west Japan's leading knife makers, and attached to a nice handle.

Yoshimitsu Hamono has been around since about 1650. The present generation - tenth in its Shimabara city location - produces kitchen knives of stellar quality and sharpness.
