There are two reasons I decided to buy it. First, I don’t have any Aogami Super knives. I have VG10/VGMAX, I have SG2/MC63, but Aogami Super is even harder steel, at 64 rockwell, that should provide decent stain resistance. And this was one of the cheapest options to get Aogami Super.
And I don’t have bunkas at all. Santokus, gyotos, european chef knife, but no bunka or nakiri (as I returned the only nakiri I had).
At 150g, it’s lighter than Shun Premier 8″ gyoto that’s around 210g, but maybe because of the balance, feels much heavier.
Now to see edge retention and how much maintenance it requires.
