Aogami No.2 is a type of steel used for professional knives. It is hard, durable, and easy to sharpen. We confidently recommend this high-quality knife for those seeking a knife that will last for decades. It cuts better and maintains its sharpness longer than stainless steel knives. It is also easy to resharpen, ensuring that its cutting performance remains unchanged for many years. This is why traditional Japanese chefs still prefer steel knives. While it may seem prone to rust, as long as you wipe off any moisture, minimal maintenance is required. Enjoy pleasant, quick, clean, and delicious cooking.Blade: Aogami No.2 (core material), soft iron (cladding material)Handle: Burnt Chestnut (collar: nylon resin)Blade Length: approx. 180mmOverall Length: approx. 320mmBlade Width: approx. 47mmBlade Thickness: approx. 2mmWeight: 146g (handmade, so dimensions may vary slightly) This knife is made with sincere and careful craftsmanship. The steel is hammered to create a tough, sharp edge, unlike some knives that are manufactured without hammering, resulting in uneven thickness and poor cutting performance. The "Gekko #1463" is made with the utmost attention to every process. Another notable feature is its pursuit of the ultimate sharpness. A blade that is hard and thin cuts well, but a hard and thin blade is prone to chipping. Therefore, usually, the hardness is reduced, or the blade is made slightly thicker. The "#14 series" is meticulously hammered to forge the steel and finished at a perfect angle to create the hardest and thinnest possible edge. This results in a knife that maintains its peak sharpness for an extended period. However, to maintain the sharpness over a long period, resharpening is essential. No matter how sharp a knife is, it will eventually dull with use. The key here is using a whetstone. Sharpeners are out of the question. Resharpening involves shaping the edge. Any shape is fine, but if you make it triangular, it will cut well. A thinner edge will cut even better. Aogami No.2 has an advantage here as well. Compared to stainless steel, it is significantly easier to sharpen and quickly restores a good edge, making it efficient to maintain long-term sharpness. You won't need to discard the knife because it becomes difficult to resharpen. *********** Japanese Customer Reviews from GEKKO: "The knife has a rugged look and is extremely sharp.
