The Shirasagi series is made in Tosa, Japan by Blacksmith Tamura Toru of Testusjin Hamono and sharpened by single-bevel specialist Myojin Tateo, son of Myojin Naohito.
Forged in the Ni-Mai style, a specialized double forging technique that applies soft cladding only to the cutting side of the knife. This technique is not common to the Tosa region.
These have a wide bevel grind with medium thin geometry behind the edge. The finish is not super meticulous, but this helps to keep them affordable.
Aogami has a good edge life in that it cuts well as it dulls, it’s edge formation can vary by the smith’s treatment of it but we are very encouraged by the edges these take.
Aogami is a reactive carbon steel. It should be dried immediately after use to avoid rusting. It will patina with normal use. No soaking or dishwasher. Rust can be removed with a light abrasive.
