Blade Material – Aogami #2 Steel
Known for its exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and ease of honing, Aogami (Blue Paper) #2 steel is a carbon steel loved by professionals. It delivers a fine edge that glides through meat, fish, and vegetables with minimal resistance.

These knives are mono steel which means they are not cladded so they will rust if left with moisture on them. To prevent rusting wipe blade dry after use.

Handle – Premium Pakkawood
The durable pakkawood handle is water-resistant, smooth to the touch, and shaped for comfort during long prep sessions. The Western-style grip gives a balanced feel, blending tradition with modern ergonomics.

Available in 210mm and 240mm
