{"product_id":"moritaka-aogami-super-santokukniv-17-cm","title":"Moritaka Aogami-Super – santoku knife, 17 cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMoritaka santoku 17 cm – the three virtues in full size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe santoku covers meat, fish and vegetables – hence the name, “the three virtues”. 17 cm is the series’ standard length and the obvious alternative to a chef’s knife if you prefer a flat cutting line and a higher blade. Moritaka in Kumamoto is one of the world’s oldest knife forgers 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\u003eSantoku or gyuto?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe santoku cuts by pushing and pulling with the entire edge against the board and uses the blade as a shovel. The gyuto has a more curved cutting line and a longer tip. If you mostly chop vegetables and divide medium-sized items, the santoku is typically the best first choice.\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: 17 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: santoku\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":51688504754513,"sku":"ES-17S","price":341.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/2890\/2981\/files\/moritaka-170-mm-santoku-aogami-super-santoku-by-rune-jakobsen-design-8013443.png?v=1756719482","url":"https:\/\/rune-jakobsen.com\/en-cy\/products\/moritaka-aogami-super-santoku-knife-17-cm","provider":"Rune-Jakobsen Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
