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.

Great knife

I love this steel, stays sharp after many days using in the kitchen!

Awesome Little Knife

Just the size I was looking for to compliment my otherJapanese steel knives. It’s so sharp and the handle is so comfortable in my hand.

Very sharp knife. Blade height is a bit shallow

This is a very sharp knife. The Aogami steel is a lot sharper then the other Sakai Takayuki knives I bought. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is the blade height is on the shallow side. 5 mm more will make it perfect. The problem with the shallow height is my index finger keep on touching the sharp blade, resulting in a few cuts. Because of this reason, it is not a knife that I will use everyday, except for the occasion to make fine slices. If I use it more than 1 hour, the chance of accidentally nick the finger tip is increased.

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.
