Yoshihiro AO-NAMIUCHI Sakimaru Takohiki – Yasuki Blue Steel #1 (Aogami #1) Hongasumi Finish Japanese Sashimi Knife with Saya
This Yoshihiro AO-NAMIUCHI Sakimaru Takohiki is crafted from Yasuki Blue Steel #1 (Aogami #1), a premium high-carbon Japanese steel known for its exceptional hardness, superior edge retention, and professional-grade cutting performance. It is positioned above Aogami #2 in hardness and wear resistance, offering maximum sharpness potential for skilled users.
Blue Steel #1 (Aogami #1) requires more advanced sharpening skills compared to Aogami #2, but rewards the user with a finer and longer-lasting cutting edge, making it highly valued among professional sushi chefs.
The AO-NAMIUCHI series features a distinctive wave-like blade pattern, reflecting traditional Japanese forging aesthetics while emphasizing its high-end craftsmanship and unique visual identity.
This Sakimaru Takohiki is a right-handed single-bevel knife designed for professional sashimi preparation. It comes equipped with a traditional octagonal Magnolia wood handle with Buffalo horn bolster, providing excellent balance and durability.
