Enhance your cooking with an Aoniko (Blue Steel #2) Japanese Santoku knife

The blade has a stunning custom finish with stately atmosphere. Black finish is an old-fashioned Japanese style of kitchen knife finishing method. The method does not scrape the entire surface of the blade that has been hardened by quenching, but leaves the black portion of the side other than the blade. This blade is made of Aogami number 2 (blue steel #2) with excellent sharpness and durability.  This blade needs to be cared for more than stainless steel as it will rust easier, water should be removed immediately.

Amazing

I recently visited Japan and spent a day making one of these knives. I’m so happy to see a company that’s just as good. I bought 2 knives (one as a gift). I adore mine and the fit recipient loves hers! Will definitely be purchasing again soon.

Beautiful Knife

This knife is, by far, my favorite in my collection. It was heavier than I expected but it so well balanced. It feels perfect in my hand. I will say, the edge isn’t ground perfect. It doesn’t lay completely flat on a cutting board so sometimes I end up with little caterpillar pieces which I’m not too happy about. Not a deal breaker by any means but I am curious if this is normal.

Anyway, you’ll LOVE this knife. What a great investment. Don’t forget to always keep a towel handy. You’re going to want to wipe after each task because it does rust easy.
