The Yoshida Aogami Ajikiri 150mm is a traditional Japanese knife designed specifically for the precise preparation of small fish and delicate ingredients. Hand-forged in Japan by Yoshida Hamono, this knife embodies the craftsmanship and heritage of Japanese blade making.
At its core is Aogami #2 (Blue Paper) carbon steel, prized for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. With a hardness of 60–62 HRC, the blade delivers a razor-sharp edge capable of highly controlled, detailed work. The core is clad in stainless steel (3-layer construction), providing added durability while preserving the performance of high-carbon steel.
The Ajikiri profile is compact and precise, making it ideal for filleting small fish, trimming, and intricate preparation tasks. Its shorter blade length offers excellent control, while the traditional Japanese octagonal (WA) handle, crafted from maple with a laminated hardwood ferrule, ensures comfort and balance during use.
As with all high-carbon steel knives, the blade will naturally develop a patina over time, enhancing its character while requiring proper care. Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure lasting performance.
Refined, precise, and purpose-built, the Yoshida Aogami Ajikiri 150mm is an exceptional choice for those seeking a specialist knife for delicate and detailed work.
