Sakai Takayuki Aogami Super Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm
堺孝行 — 堺 (Sakai)
$130 / ¥19,000
This Sakai Takayuki gyuto uses Aogami Super — the most advanced carbon steel from Hitachi Metals. The kurouchi (blacksmith's) finish gives it a rustic, handcrafted look while providing a non-stick surface. The octagonal magnolia handle is traditional Sakai style. For those willing to maintain carbon steel, this knife rewards with an edge sharper than any stainless.
