Ohishi Aogami 2, Kurouchi Tsuchime Gyuto, 180mm
$155.95 $222.75
Like the other knives in the Ohishi Aogami 2 family, this 180mm Gyuto (Chef) kitchen knife is a beautifully handmade knife. With the balance point of the knife set at the heel of the blade, this knife feels like part of your hand when you use a pinch grip.
Having trialed this knife doing the prep for a Japanese Curry I found it handled both the dicing of the garlic and the slicing of the onions, carrots, and potatoes with ease. A fantastic knife to add to your kitchen's arsenal.
