Moritaka in Kumamoto is one of the world's oldest knife smiths with a history dating back to the 13th century. The knives are still forged by hand, and the dark kurouchi surface is allowed to remain on the blade. This makes each knife easily recognizable – and slightly different from the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes a hand-forged gyuto different?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is thinner behind the edge than a European chef's knife, so it slides through vegetables and meat with less force. The kurouchi surface also reduces friction and makes the items release the blade more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePatination is part of the charm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super is not stainless. The blade reacts to acid and moisture, and it develops a patina from day one. Rinse and dry it immediately after use, and the patina will be even and dark, and rust will never take hold. In return, you get a steel that can be sharpened sharper and holds its edge longer than most stainless alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 21 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: gyuto (chef's knife)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore steel: Aogami Super (blue steel), 63–65 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: san mai – hard core between softer side layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface: hand-forged kurouchi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: octagonal wa-handle in walnut with black ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Kumamoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReactive steel: rinse and dry immediately after use – never dishwasher, never bones or frozen items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moritaka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51688509210961,"sku":"GYO-21S","price":354.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/2890\/2981\/files\/moritaka-210-mm-gyuto-aogami-super-kokkekniv-by-rune-jakobsen-design-9277099.png?v=1756719212","url":"https:\/\/rune-jakobsen.com\/en-bg\/products\/moritaka-aogami-super-gyuto-knife-21-cm","provider":"Rune-Jakobsen Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
