Description

According to Japanese tradition, the knife was wrapped in white or blue paper. This indicated the class of goods.

Aogami - high quality, from such steel blacksmiths forged the combat blades.

Shirogami - ordinary, inexpensive steel, with excellent cutting properties.

Nowadays, this is more of a tribute to history, and Shirogami knives do a great job with all kitchen tasks, and Aogami is more of a gift option, with more value.

Choosing a lower price tag seems obvious justified, but sometimes it is necessary to get the maximum and cost is not key factor.

Most aggressive cut, in blades with a high carbon content, such as Shirogami & Aogami.

Both are very reactive, that is prone to rust. This is a significant defining moment for an informed purchase.

It's important to remember that the katana was also made of highly reactive carbon steel the Tamahagane.

When a sword of value was taken from scabbard, those present in the room held their breath so that it would rust less and before sheathing it, a corrosion-preventing treatment was carried out.

The situation is same today, high-carbon knives still exposed pitting, but cut superiorly more than stainless steel.

Gyuto - is the less common name for a chef's knife. 

The classic length around the world, it is considered to be 21 like this model or 24 cm like F-695. 

This allows you to apply most of the cutting techniques, and use not only the "hammer grip". 

Japanese kitchen knives, divided by specialization. 

The short Gyuto F-693 looks like a Santoku. 

Longer blades capable of serving as a slicer. 

Steel with excellent aggressive cutting. 

The blade is sharp as a razor, is prone to rusting and requires careful use. 

You can ignore the appearance of stains, but you can not allow rusting cutting edge. 

This will lead to a loss of sharpness and the knife will need sharpening, for which it is better to use water stones. 

Other quality abrasives can be used, including diamond stones, but this should be done carefully and with understanding. 

The blade are symmetric, of 3-ayered layered high carbon Shirogami steel, with quenching up to 60 HRC Rockwell and a soft steel lining with black finish. 

Tojiro products are manufactured in Japan at the Fuji Cutlery Co. factory in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture. 

This is an enterprise that created and owns brand rights. 

The culture of production and sophisticated technology, put the company's products at an unattainable level, in terms of price and quality. 

Handle size is medium, conical, with a slight bulge on the right side. 

The handle material, is natural magnolia wood, without impregnation, with a bolster made of durable food-grade plastic. 

The tree is not impregnated, and in order to extend the service life, it is reasonable to independently impregnate the handle with linseed oil until it completely dries and polymerizes.
