Moritaka Damascus Supreme Gyuto Chef's Knife, 240mm (9.5"), Damascus Aogami/Blue Super Carbon Steel

A superb and razor-sharp carbon steel chef's knife (Gyuto), hand-made in the Moritaka family workshop in Japan. This is a perfect size for home users or for chefs who already have a santoku or 8" chef's knife and now want something longer.

The handle and cutting edge (core) on these knives are the same as the rest of the Supreme series, but intead of being clad in a soft iron, they're clad in a stainless damascus steel for spectacular good looks and rust resistance since the cutting edge is the only carbon steel that is exposed, so these will be easier to maintain and less likely to discolour or rust compared to the other lines of knives.

Blade is made of Aogami/Blue Super carbon steel, with a permanent seasoned rosewood handle and a stainless steel tang. These blades should take a super sharp edge and the added toughness of the Blue Super steel should help with edge strength and resistance. The rosewood handle should be MUCH longer-lasting than the softer and lighter magnolia wood usually seen on traditional Japanese knives, and the stainless steel tang inside the handle means that any moisture will not result in premature pitting or damage to the handle. The finish is kuro-uchi (black) with a lacquer coating -- this helps protect the steel and should not be polished off.

Edge is 50/50 bevel, so it is fine for left or right-handed use, and is easily sharpened with any stone or hone or gadget suitable for Japanese knives. For regular everyday maintenance I suggest a fine ceramic hone (see below).

I really love these knives -- I'm sure you'll be thrilled and amazed by the quality, good looks, and high performance of these carbon steel blades!

Comes packed in a nice cobalt-blue gift box.
