The Steel - Aogami (Blue) Super

Aogami, or Blue Super, is a carbon steel with HRC rating of between 63 and 64. This very hard steel has incredible sharpness and exceptional retention.

The Model - Kiritsuke Gyuto

The Gyuto is a multi-purpose, large bladed knife that you can use for almost everything. Typically these are light strong knives which range from 180mm to 240mm normally (although sometimes longer), with 210mm being the most common and popular size due to it's sweet spot of length for larger tasks but excellent agility. Longer knives tend to be used more for high volume tasks in professional kitchens where 240mm and even 270mm are popular. 180mm is popular for smaller home kitchen tasks too.

The blade profile is great for cutting in a rocking type motion. If you are looking for one knife, this is the most versatile.

Kiritsuke is simply an angled finish at the tip as opposed to the more rounded end of a traditional Santoku.
