About the Steel - Aogami #2

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Aogami (Blue) No. 2 steel is a high-carbon steel. The steel has a very high hardness therefore long edge retention. Special care must be taken as knives made with the Aogami Steel No. 2 is prone to rust.

About the Finish - Mirror

Mirror finish refers to a blade that has been polished to such a high degree that it reflects light, similar to a mirror. This type of finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the knife but also provides practical benefits. It reduces drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The mirror finish is achieved through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing, resulting in a blade with a smooth, shiny, and reflective surface.
