The Pateru Aogami 2 Santoku Knife 165mm is a premium Japanese kitchen knife created to celebrate a 25th anniversary collection, combining traditional craftsmanship with refined design. Made in Seki City, Japan, this santoku knife features a core of Aogami 2 (Blue Paper Steel), known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and ease of resharpening. The high-carbon core is clad with softer stainless steel, making the blade easier to maintain while preserving the superior cutting performance of the exposed edge.
The blade is finished with a traditional tsuchime (hammered) texture, which helps reduce food sticking, along with a kurochi finish that adds a distinctive Japanese aesthetic. Its thin, hand-ground blade delivers outstanding “out-of-the-box” sharpness, allowing precise and effortless cutting of vegetables, meat, and fish. The santoku shape, inspired by the bunka profile, provides versatility for a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks.
The knife is fitted with a smooth octagonal pakkawood handle, designed for balance, comfort, and control during use. With its elegant design and high-performance steel, the Pateru Aogami 2 Santoku 165mm is ideal for both professional chefs and serious home cooks who appreciate traditional Japanese knives with long-lasting sharpness and craftsmanship.
