The Yoshida Aogami Ajikiri 150mm is a traditional Japanese fish preparation knife handcrafted by Yoshida Hamono, a renowned knife maker celebrated for preserving the heritage of Japanese blade craftsmanship. Designed specifically for preparing small fish and delicate ingredients, the Ajikiri offers exceptional precision and control for intricate kitchen tasks.
At the heart of the blade is premium Aogami #2 (Blue Paper Steel), one of Japan’s finest high-carbon steels, renowned for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention and ease of sharpening. Hardened to approximately 60–62 HRC, it delivers a razor-sharp edge capable of precise, controlled cuts. The blade features a 3-layer construction, with a hard Aogami #2 core clad in stainless steel, providing improved durability and easier maintenance while retaining the outstanding performance of high-carbon steel.
The compact Ajikiri profile is ideal for filleting small fish, trimming, deboning and other precision tasks where accuracy is essential. Paired with a traditional Japanese octagonal (WA) handle crafted from maple with a laminated hardwood ferrule, the knife offers excellent balance, comfort and control during extended use.
As with all high-carbon steel knives, the exposed cutting edge will naturally develop a protective patina over time. With proper care and maintenance, the Yoshida Aogami Ajikiri 150mm will provide many years of exceptional cutting performance, making it an excellent choice for chefs and enthusiasts seeking an authentic Japanese specialist knife.
