Aogami / Blue Steel

The Pinnacle of Japanese Knife Craftsmanship

Aogami, or Blue Steel, is highly esteemed in the realm of Japanese knife-making. This premium steel is celebrated for its superior edge retention, sharpness, and ability to be honed to a razor-sharp edge.

Composition and Qualities:

  • High Carbon Steel: Aogami is a high carbon steel, enriched with additional elements such as chromium and tungsten, which enhance its durability and resistance to wear.
  • Sharpness: Known for its exceptional sharpness, Aogami can achieve and maintain an incredibly fine edge, making it ideal for precision cutting tasks.
  • Edge Retention: Its high carbon content contributes to outstanding edge retention, meaning knives made of Aogami stay sharp for longer periods, even with frequent use.

Types of Aogami:

  • Aogami is available in various grades, such as Aogami #1 (Blue Paper #1) and Aogami Super, each offering unique characteristics. Aogami Super, for instance, contains more carbon and additional alloying elements, providing even higher wear resistance and durability.
