Sakai Takayuki Aoniko 150mm Petty Monosteel

Old school monosteel, entire blade is made from carbon Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel, for excellent edge life, wear resistance and toughness. The blades on these have a slight right hand bias, and are sharpened 70/30, but could be sharpened 50/50 and would be fine for a lefty. 

Sakai Takayuki knives are made by Aoki Hamono, one of the largest and most well known companies in Sakai, Japan. Sakai city has a long history of top quality knifemaking, and Sakai Takayuki's knives represent that history, working with top level local craftsmen to offer both the traditional and modern kitchen cutlery of the highest standards.

**Dry thoroughly after use. Left wet, carbon steel can rust, dull quickly and develop pits in the edge. With proper care, the blade will develop a patina, which will help protect from further rusting.

**To avoid chipping, keep away from bones, frozen foods or other hard foods and pits.
