Tsunehisa Gyuto Aogami Super Cherry 210mm (8.3")
The Tsunehisa Gyuto Aogami Super Cherry 210mm (8.3") is a multi-purpose knife with hammer dents and a beautiful cherry wood handle. Due to the choice of steel, the blade is also very easy to sharpen.
The centerpiece of this knife is Hitachi's Super Blue Steel (Aogami Super), which is the very top quality of traditional Japanese steels. Hammer dents on the upper part of the blade give it a unique and rustic appearance.
BLADE SHAPE:
The shape of the blade will suit anyone looking for a versatile knife for vegetables, fish, and meat. It will excel at chopping vegetables and slicing larger cuts of meat, whilst the narrow tip enables very precise work.
STEEL:
This knife was heat-treated to around 63 HRC. It is a very hard steel, meaning that it will retain a super-fine sharpness for a long time. In addition, due to the high carbon content (1.4-1.5%), the knife is very easy to sharpen. Among the high carbon steels, Aogami Super is also the least sensitive to rust. It also contains 0.4% vanadium as an admixture for micronized metal grains, which gives the steel more toughness. Aogami Super is rated as the most advanced carbon steel. The outer layers are of softer, stainless steel, giving the knife extra rust protection.
BLADE FINISH:
The blade was treated with hammer blows, resulting in a textured tsuchime look, which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
HANDLE:
The handle (traditional Japanese Wa) is oval and smooth, with no discernible transition between the cherry and red pakka wood. It’s suitable for both left- and right-handed users.
BLACKSMITH:
Tsunehisa is a curated brand that brings together high-quality knives from Japan’s top smithing regions—Tosa, Seki, and Sakai. Each area specializes in distinct steels and techniques: Tosa is known for Ginsanko and AUS-8; Seki for the V-Gold series; and Sakai for its traditional single-bevel Honyaki knives.
