The steel used in these knives is one of the best carbon steels on the market. Aogami Super (AS) is known for its ability to take and keep a super sharp edge. It is also very reactive, 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.
