This knife is inspired by the cherry blossom season in Japan. The blade is made in the San-Mai technique where two softer layers are forged around one hard layer of steel to protect the blade itself from cracking. This knife forging technique is one of the most popular and is inherited from the katana production process.

The gyuto form belongs to the universal forms and meets all the needs of a chef. With this knife you can cut, chop or mince any food in the kitchen.

Aogami Super, the steel used for the blade of this knife, is considered the best for making kitchen knives by most master blacksmiths in Japan. It belongs to the rusting steels, but due to the slightly higher chromium content, the knife can hardly rust. Additionally, the two layers of stainless steel that protect it from the outside allow even users who shun carbon blades to enjoy this knife with ease.

The handle is made in an oval shape from Japanese cherry wood with a red pakka wood collar that perfectly completes the story of this knife. It is extremely finely polished and gives a very pleasant feeling in the hand.

How to choose the first Japanese knife?

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Japanese knife as a perfect gift

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
