The gyuto's curved profile is well-suited to both the “push-cut” and the sawing motion, making it an ideal tool for all common tasks: vegetables, meats, and fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe migaki finish gives the blade a uniformly polished surface that highlights the steel’s grain. Hitachi Metals’ Aogami #1 has a high carbon content (1.25–1.35%) and the addition of chromium and tungsten, which distinguish the Aogami line from the Shirogami line. The sanmai construction, with its stainless steel cladding, channels the hard core toward the edge while providing the blade body with a certain degree of mechanical strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAogami #1 (Blue Steel #1) \u003c\/strong\u003eranks at the top of the Aogami line in terms of edge retention, above Aogami #2. Its carbon content and tungsten concentration allow it to maintain a fine edge for a long time between sharpenings. It responds well to the whetstone but requires more passes than a Shirogami to achieve the same level of fineness at the cutting edge. Like all oxidizable carbon steel, it develops a gradual patina when in contact with acidic foods. This patina is normal and helps stabilize the blade’s surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the blade immediately after use, especially after contact with acidic ingredients. Dry thoroughly before storing. A light coat of camellia oil protects the surface during extended storage.
