CUSTOM Kagemitsu Amefuri Kurouchi Aogami #1 santoku (universal knife), 180 mm
SKU: JDA-105CUSTOM Kagemitsu Amefuri Kurouchi Aogami # 1 santoku
Hand-forged blade of non-stainless steel with core of extremely hard Japanese Aogami # 1 steel (Sanmai forged). The Kagemitsu Amefuri ("rain shower") knives are forged especially for Japanseseknives.eu and have been named to remember the bond and the eternal battle against the water in both Japan and the Netherlands. In July 2019, it will be exactly 1 year since Japan has endured the historically heavy rainstorms, with more than 175 victims as a result.
A Santoku is suitable for all jobs. The knife is designed to cut fish, meat and vegetables. The blade is not rust-resistant and sharpened on both sides. The handle is octagonal and therefore suitable for right and left-handed use.
