Overview
Meet the Shibata Koutetsu Aogami Super Petty 135 mm—a laser-thin utility knife hand-sharpened by master grinder Takayuki Shibata. Built on a hard Aogami Super core and protected by stainless cladding, it marries carbon-steel bite with everyday stain resistance. At just 62 g and under 2 mm at the spine, the blade glides through herbs, garlic, and proteins with minimal drag, making it a favourite of line cooks and home enthusiasts alike.
Common Questions
Q: Is this knife suitable for home cooks?
A: Absolutely. Its slim 135 mm edge offers excellent control for everyday prep, yet the stainless cladding reduces maintenance, so you get pro-level sharpness without babying the blade.
Q: How do I care for Aogami Super steel?
A: Wipe the edge dry after use, store it clean, and touch up on a finishing stone when the bite fades. A light camellia-oil coat prevents patina if you store it for long periods.
Q: What makes Shibata Koutetsu knives special?
A: Shibata-san’s grinds are famously even and thin, delivering out-of-the-box keenness and effortless food release. Every knife is finished by hand in Fukuyama, Japan, ensuring consistent quality.
