About Haruyuki Shiso –

Aogami Super is the king of knife steel—super easy to sharpen, gets a laser beam edge, cuts like silk, and isn’t as fussy as other carbon steels. It’s then clad in stainless steel, so only the edge needs to be kept dry to avoid rusting. Brilliant. If that wasn’t enough, they’ve given it this black ‘kurouchi’ finish, which makes for a seriously badass blade. The two-tone handle compliments the overall look of the blade so well and really makes this a knife worth showing off!

Designed for kitchen success, Haruyuki knives are beloved among professionals and home cooks alike for their reliable, high-performance blades. Haruyuki combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans then complete the remaining steps by hand, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. The resulting knives have the feel and aesthetics of a traditional handmade knife while being more accessible to young cooks and folks starting their knife collection.

About the Shape – This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means ‘Three Virtues’ or ‘To solve Three Problems’. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm – 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.
