Muneishi Aogami Kiritsuke 165mm Kurouchi

Muneishi Aogami iron clad knives are handcrafted Japanese blades prized by serious home cooks and collectors. Each knife features an Aogami 2 (Blue #2) steel core with iron clad construction and a distinctive kurouchi finish that develops character over time. When comparing options, focus on blade length, knife type (gyuto or kiritsuke), and price. The kiritsuke offers versatility for slicing and chopping, while this 210mm gyuto provides a longer Western-style blade. Consider your cutting style and kitchen space before choosing — a 165mm kiritsuke suits smaller tasks, while this 240mm gyuto excels at bulk prep. All are new with exceptional edge retention, so prioritize the blade shape and size that matches your cooking habits.
