Description
The Aokitae series from Hatsukokoro is forged in Aogami #2 (Blue 2) carbon steel with a rustic kurouchi finish. This 180 mm santoku is a versatile chef's knife for vegetables, meat and fish, and the walnut handle gives a light, balanced grip. The carbon steel takes a very sharp edge and is easy to sharpen, but should be wiped clean and dried after use.
HATSUKOKORO · Amagasaki
Hatsukokoro was started in Amagasaki near Osaka by a master smith who wanted to gather good knives from all over Japan under one name.

About the knife type: Santoku (chef's knife)
Santoku is a Japanese all-purpose knife. The name means 'three uses': meat, fish and vegetables.
The blade is slightly wider than on a gyuto or a Western chef's knife, so there is room for large vegetables. The tip gives the edge a larger contact surface, and the knife cuts well with a push cut.
About the steel: Blue #2 (Aogami #2)
Care and maintenance
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
