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: Aogami Super (Blue Super)
