Overview
The Isamitsu Aogami Super Gyuto 210mm is a Japanese chef-knife blade for a custom handle build. The kurouchi tsuchime finish gives the upper blade a rustic, hammered texture above the bright bevel. Its 210mm size offers an everyday cutting length for vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat. This listing is for the blade only. No handle is included. A suitable handle must be fitted before use.
Aogami Super is a carbon steel chosen for edge retention. Isamitsu's standard construction sandwiches the carbon core between stainless outer layers, leaving the cutting edge exposed. The cladding reduces the area that needs carbon-steel care, while the edge will develop a patina with use. This is a blade for cooks who are comfortable wiping and drying their knife as they work.
Common Questions
Q: Does this knife come with a handle?
A: No. It is supplied as a blade only. Browse our custom wa handles and contact Tokushu Knife to confirm the fit and installation requirements. Handle purchase and installation are separate.
Q: Is Aogami Super stainless steel?
A: No. The exposed carbon-steel edge can discolor and develop a patina during normal use. Wipe it regularly while preparing food, hand-wash after use and dry thoroughly. Do not soak it or put it in a dishwasher. For longer storage, a thin coat of Tsubaki knife oil can help protect the dry blade.
Q: What can I cut with a 210mm gyuto?
A: Once a handle is properly installed, a gyuto is a versatile choice for slicing produce and boneless proteins. Avoid bones, frozen foods, hard pits and twisting the blade in a cut. Work on wood or a knife-friendly Hasegawa cutting board.
Q: How should I maintain the edge?
A: Use light, edge-trailing passes on a leather strop for touch-ups between sharpenings. When the edge needs sharpening, use a whetstone or our professional sharpening service. Choose a blade guard that fits both the blade's length and height.
