The steel used in these knives is one of the best carbon steels on the market. Aogami #1 is known for its ability to take and keep a super sharp edge. It is reactive carbon steel, which is why the kurouchi finish on these knives is so great. It helps with rust protection and aids in food release. You'll still need to be careful to keep these knives dry after use and washing.
We've upgraded this handle to a nice oak octagonal with a burnt urushi finish. It makes this knife an enticing value.
