Overview
Meet the Teruyasu Fujiwara Denka Aogami Super Gyuto 195 mm — a stellar compact chef’s knife forged for serious cooks and professionals alike. With a premium Aogami Super (Blue Super) core and stainless cladding, it delivers razor-sharp performance, excellent edge retention, and easier maintenance than pure carbon variants. Ideal as a “one knife” or as your core performer, its nimble 195 mm length ensures speed, control, and comfort on tighter prep spaces.
While many Denka models come with a wa (Japanese) handle, this listing features the Western-style handle version for those who prefer a more familiar grip or transition to Japanese knives. The geometry, balance, and cutting behavior remain identical to the wa-handle models.
Common Questions
Q: Is this knife suitable for home cooks?
A: Absolutely. The 195 mm length is compact enough for everyday chopping, slicing, and dicing, yet long enough to handle proteins and large vegetables. It’s a great entry point into high-end Japanese knives without going too extreme in size.
Q: How should I maintain the Aogami Super core?
A: Treat the core as a high-carbon steel: hand wash immediately, dry fully, and optionally apply a thin coat of tsubaki (camellia) oil to prevent oxidation. The stainless cladding protects much of the blade from rust, but the core will patina over time (which many users appreciate).
Q: How does Denka differ from other Aogami Super knives?
A: Fujiwara’s in-house heat treatment elevates Denka’s hardness to about 65–66 HRC, pushing the limits of what Aogami Super can achieve. This yields superb sharpness retention, a biting feel, and consistency. The tradeoff is that it demands a bit more sharpening care than lower-grade steels, but for many users, it’s worth it.
