I am very happy about my purchase. I was looking for a Peugeot pepper mill and I found exactly the one I wanted, for a cheaper price than everywhere else, and I received it in 2 days! It was a perfect gift, thank you very much. I recommend Paul's Finest anytime!

The Japanese equivalent of our traditional carving knife. A great addition to a growing knife collection, and an important tool in the kit of any working chef.

It's a superb example of a knife made with a high end carbon steel, so it is VERY sharp, it keeps this sharp edge a long time, and it resharpens more easily than most stainless steels. The handle and blade are beautiful, well made, and expertly finished, with excellent overall fit and finish.

But remember, this is a high carbon steel knife, NOT stainless, which means you need to keep it dry and stored in a dry place to keep it from rusting. Wash by hand, wipe, dry and store after use.

It is made from the high-end Hitachi Yasugi-works Blue-2 steel which is a very pure high carbon steel with added chromium and tungsten for increased toughness and durability (making it somewhat less fragile than the "white" steels for example). This steel is also called Aogami or Ao-Ko II in Japanese. Hardness is at least HRC 60.

This knife is sharpened mostly on the right hand side and so is not suitable for left-hand use.

I recommend the fine ceramic hone listed below for regular everyday maintenance.

Comes in a beautiful Japanese gift box.
