๐ฏ๐ต 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.
๐ฏ๐ต 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.
๐ฏ๐ต 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.
