Blue Steel#1 Wa Santoku knife Hiramaru Handle

steel material

Blue steel is an alloy steel containing tungsten (responsible for hardness), chromium (responsible for toughness), and alloy carbides (responsible for hardness), but Aoichi steel is a steel with increased hardness by increasing the amount of carbon from Aoeni steel. This makes the knives extremely long lasting. These knives are recommended for people who use knives for a long time in the kitchen. Since it is carbon steel, it has a very sharp edge, which makes it very sharp, but it will rust if the knife is left in water or salt.
