Aogami-Super Carbon Steel | Blue Super Steel
Aogami-Super (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is one of the greatest Japanese Carbon Steels. In addition to containing more Carbon, Chromium and Tungsten than Blue Steel No.1, it also includes Molybdenum. It has very good edge sharpness and excellent edge retention, but is also capable of attaining high hardness without being brittle. Consequently, many knife enthusiasts rate Aogami Super as one of the very best High Carbon Steels in the world.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

First Gyuto

First of all, I live in Texas and this knife came in within a week, which I found amazing. The packaging was beautiful as well as the knife itself. The sheath that came with was also nice crafted. The blade has kept up over constant usage. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.

Beautiful, but it could be sharper out of the box.

This was my first order from Musashi and is my first made-in-Japan knife in general.

The blade's got small imperfections in the finish that make the knife very rustic-looking. I find this very appealing. Shipping took approximately ten days from Japan to Germany. The one criticism I would voice is that I expected it to be sharper out of the box - more so than my daily drivers, at the very least. That's nothing a little bit of elbow grease won't fix. If I could give 4.5 stars out of 5 I'd do so.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
