## Why we chose it

Aogami Super adds tungsten and vanadium to the blue steel base — more wear resistance and edge retention than most standard gyutos at this price. San Mai construction protects the carbon core in stainless cladding; kurouchi forge finish on the cladding is not a coating. Octagonal maple handle, no synthetic composites. Made by Sakai Takayuki in Sakai, Japan.
