Discover Moritaka Aogami 2 Steel knives on this page, all selected by the KnifeLeader team! This range includes some of the most widely used kitchen knives, such as the chef's knife, the universal knife and the yanagiba knife, ideal for slicing fine sashimi. They're built to last, thanks to the quality materials they're made of and the exceptional manufacturing processes used to create them. All these knives feature an Aogami 2 Steel blade, produced by Hitachi steelworks, renowned in Japan and around the world. This top-of-the-range steel contains around 1.2% carbon and over 1% tungsten, the two elements needed to increase the blade's hardness. This is why the blade achieves an average of 62 HRC on the Rockwell scale: a very good index guaranteeing ideal edge retention. The specific composition of the alloy also makes the knife easy to sharpen, so maintenance is straightforward.
These knives are ideal for connoisseurs, since the carbon, which is very present in the blades, requires careful knife maintenance (due to its sensitivity to oxidation). They'll win you over right from the first cut! What's more, each model is unique, adding cachet to your kitchen equipment. Knives in the Moritaka Aogami 2 Steel range also feature handles crafted from a variety of materials, such as cherry or walnut. Guaranteed effect with Moritaka knives!
