Detailed Description
The universal and representative all-purpose knife for home-use, it has the strengths of both the traditional nakiri and the Western butcher's knife. Santoku means "three uses" or "three virtues," derived from its flexibility in cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. Its double-bevel blade is wider than a gyuto, making it a fine choice for both right and left-handed people.
Blue (Aogami)#2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to White Steel No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Blue Steel No.2 is very similar to White Steel No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention
Note
After using the knife, be sure to wash it well with detergent, etc., and then wipe off the water well
(especially on the blade).
Do not hit or twisting the cutting edge and cut frozen foods.
Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade.
