The measured 218mm edge gives it slightly more cutting room than a conventional 210mm gyuto while remaining controlled for everyday prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAogami 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlade geometry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.
