Common Questions

Q: Is this knife beginner-friendly despite being high-end? A: Absolutely. The stainless cladding makes upkeep simple—just wash and dry—while the 50/50 edge is easy to touch up on any whetstone.

Q: Can a 180 mm gyuto handle larger prep jobs? A: Yes. The 44 mm blade height and gentle belly give plenty of board clearance for tall ingredients, yet the shorter length feels nimble on crowded boards.

Q: How should I maintain the edge? A: Strop weekly. When sharpening, aim for ~15° per side to maximize that Aogami Super bite.
