The trade-off is reactivity - it will develop a patina with use and must be wiped dry after washing to prevent rust. For cooks who want the absolute best cutting performance and are willing to give their knife a little extra care, Aogami Super is the answer. The hammered cladding reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. The santoku profile handles meat, fish, and vegetables with equal confidence. At 180mm it is a compact, highly capable all-rounder. The red pakkawood handle is bold and distinctive.
