Hand forged iron clad Aogami 2 carbon steel with a right biased convex ‘hamaguri’ grind making for fine precise work with excellent food release. The iron cladding has a fine hazy finish surface which also aides in food release.
We have been very impressed with this series from Hitohira, the Gorobei knives are thin ground, light, nimble but still feel in charge during work. Their slightly taller than average blades allow for more clearance without feeling wobbly.
This excellent treatment of Aogami gets sharp easily but is pre-engineered for edge life over edge formation. It’s the right steel choice for a high-volume workhorse with less sharpening.
Aogami steels are carbon steel with no corrosion resistance. Expect oxidation in the form of patine with regular use. Keep clean and dry when not in use to prevent corrosion.
