๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต About Aogami Steel (Blue Steel)

Aogami Steel is a premium Japanese steel known for:

  • Excellent hardness
  • Superior toughness
  • Outstanding sharpness
  • Excellent edge retention

Because of its hardness and toughness, the blade can be ground thinner than ordinary steel, resulting in exceptionally sharp cutting performance.

Aogami steel is traditionally used for:

  • Sashimi knives
  • Vegetable knives
  • Precision cutting blades

Especially for sashimi knives, maintaining an extremely clean cut is important because blade quality can affect the texture and taste of the fish.


๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Difference Between Aogami and Shirogami Steel

In Japan, another traditional steel called Shirogami (White Steel) is also widely used.

Aogami Steel

  • Harder steel
  • Better edge retention
  • Suitable for fine precision cutting

Shirogami Steel

  • Slightly softer
  • Better for cutting thicker and harder materials
  • Commonly used for hatchets and Deba knives

Shirogami steel develops microscopic serration-like wear during use, which improves bite when cutting harder materials.


๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต About the Hand-Forged Construction

This knife is hand-forged using traditional Japanese forging methods similar to those historically used for Japanese swords.

The forging process combines:

  • Hard steel for sharpness
  • Softer iron for toughness

Creating a blade with both cutting performance and durability.
