Hiromoto Aogami Super (AS) Steel Gallery - Full Spa Treatment

DC you're probably the reason why Hiromoto was so succesful!

Thanks for the kind words on my work.

 

The handle work and etching are on these knives are beautiful Dave, but after doing as many knives as I have over the years, the consistency of your edges is pretty humbling.

 

Thanks Mike

 

Damn sexy work on the Hiramoto's, Dave, you should be very proud!!!

 

Thanks Chef!

 

I still have 3 of the full line I had at one time. Just can't let these ones go both Wa handled knives and the 300 suji, and of coarse the one that started it all, the 240 HC the first Japanese kitchen knife (poor thing LOL ) I trained on...

 

Here's two Hiromotos that have been gone over top to bottom. They're headed to Austria.


A couple of things to note....

1. The koa is killer. The pictures look OK but in real life the handles have such nice movement and character.

2. The gyuto had twice as much cladding on the left side than the right as well as a slight over grind on both sides in the kanji section. The overgrind is an issue that I've seen off and on over the years (mostly on the right side under the kanji) but the left side being thick is a recent (this year?) situation I've been seeing rather consistently. This was a brand new knife from Japan.

 

Wow!

 

They keep getting better Dave!

 

Thanks Jim

 

I donno Jim, there is this super pretty one a couple of pages back with thesw copper liners and pins, has box elder burl, I think it may just be the best ever. Bit I may be biased on the matter

 

HA! I would think you are James.. Now you need the matching knives for a set.

 

Please click on the image below for more pictures and information about these two knives....

 

Here's a 240mm Hiromoto AS gyuto that's been thinned/etched, rounded spine/choil, sharpened & handle upgraded. The owner wanted to take a walk on the wild side so he went with a purple dyed box elder, copper liners & pins. I think that he's got a unique one here for sure!

 

Hiromoto AS Performance Package....

 

I'll attest to never selling mine. And I'll put against knives costing twice as much of what I've paid. It also gets the most comments out of anything in my roll.

 

Full spa treatment for this Hiromoto AS Gyuto...


Dyed Maple Burl with nickel silver pins used for the handle.

Blade thinned, spine/choil rounded, etched for appearance, & sharpened.

 

Dave: are you still offering this? I did not see it on your site. I have a 270 wa Sufi that never did much for me in the performance dept, and would be interested in giving yo a shot at it. Pm me details. Thx, Eric
