NK-04 Aogami Super Santoku
Master Nomura has selected the Japan's premium carbon steel Hitachi Aogami Super to makehis custom kitchen knife.
The unique round shaped Tsuchime Hammered Texture blades feature a core of Aogami Super high-carbon steel that is clad with soft stainless steel. Master Nomura decided to partner the blade with a textured Urushi lacquered handle (Oval-shaped), which has a vermillion red lacquered ferrule (String wrapped) and a Black Lacquered handle. For safekeeping, this knife comes with a matching Black (Lacquered) wooden Saya ("Sheath") and a black pakkawood Saya pin.
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.
