Aogami Super

Knives made of Aogami Super steel

Aogami Super is a very prestigious Blue Steel (both names for this extremely sharp steel are used interchangeably). It is forged into 3-layered, very sharp and exceptionally beautiful knives, whose spine is not even 2 mm thick.

3-layered knives made of Aogami Super steel can hold their sharpness for up to 4-5 months provided that you cut on wooden boards or special Japanese boards. The steel hardness at 63-65 HRC on the Rockwell scale clearly indicates that you can expect a truly exceptional knife. Sharpening knives made from this steel is done on synthetic stones.
