Overview
For peeling vegetables and making decorative slices
It is easy to peel and decorate vegetables, which is required in Japanese cooking, and the corners of vegetables stand up, resulting in beautiful cuts.
Also, since the blade and cutting board have a large contact area, it is suitable for cutting large vegetables. When cutting vegetables on the cutting board, care should be taken so that the cut ends do not become slanted.
AO 1 steel with long-lasting sharpness.
It is characterized by its high hardness and excellent abrasion resistance, which makes it very good at keeping its sharpness. On the other hand, it is more difficult to sharpen than knives made of other steels, and has a tendency to chip easily because of its low tenacity. The steel material is easy to rust because of its high strength, but compared to stainless steel, it has good sharpness and is easy to sharpen.
