Overview
The Imai Stainless Clad Aogami Super Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm is a versatile, full-size Japanese chef knife forged and ground by Shotaro Imai in Echizen. The measured 218mm edge gives it slightly more cutting room than a conventional 210mm gyuto while remaining controlled for everyday prep.
Aogami Super (Blue Super) forms the cutting core, offering excellent edge retention, high sharpness potential and a satisfying response on whetstones. Stainless cladding covers most of the blade, reducing maintenance while leaving the exposed carbon-steel edge reactive. The kurouchi finish preserves its forged character and contrasts with the polished bevel.
This knife is fitted with a Sanjo walnut octagonal wa handle with a maple stripe. The natural walnut provides a comfortable, secure feel, while the maple accent gives the knife a clean custom finish.
Blade geometry
The blade is 47mm tall at the heel, with a spine measuring 3.14mm over the heel, 2.4mm at mid-blade and approximately 0.82mm 10mm from the tip. This gives the heel useful stability while allowing the tip to remain precise for onions, garlic and detail work.
Who it suits
A strong choice for professional chefs, enthusiasts and home cooks who want carbon-steel performance in a ready-to-use gyuto with a comfortable wa handle. It is suited to vegetables, herbs, boneless meat, poultry and fish.
