Versatile and demanding, it slices fish and precision-cuts vegetables with equal authority. This 24cm blade is a statement of skill as much as a tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built to the full Aogami standard: Blue Paper No. 2 carbon steel, hammer-forged to densify the grain and finished entirely by hand. The reward for its single-bevel discipline is an edge of remarkable keenness and longevity. Buffalo horn bolster, natural wood handle, made in the swordsmithing tradition of Seki.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional single-bevel kiritsuke — the head chef's knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid profile for both slicing and precision vegetable work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24cm blade, Aogami Blue Paper No. 2 carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged and hand-polished for an exceptional edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffalo horn bolster with natural wood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length 24cm — Made in Seki City, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarbon steel: hand wash and dry immediately, never dishwasher.
