Tadafusa Aogami 2
Tadafusa has been handmaking beautiful Japanese Kitchen Knives since 1948 and was founded by Sone Torasaburo. Their forge is located in the town of blacksmiths, Sanjo, Niigata prefecture, Japan, an area known for its metalwork as well as its high-quality rice and sake.
The Aogami 2 steel knives are hardened to HRC62-63 and clad in softer stainless steel. This range has a Nashiji (meaning rough finish or pear skin) finish which compliments the walnut handle.
