Kai Seki Magoroku Aogami (Blue Steel Damascus)
The Aogami (Blue Steel Damascus) series of Japanese kitchen knives are true works of art, meticulously handcrafted one by one by skilled artisans. By repeatedly hammering the metal heated to high temperatures, the molecules are densely arranged, forming a strong and robust blade. This strength allows for delicate sharpening, resulting in an exceptionally sharp edge. From rough sharpening to hand sharpening and even fine polishing, the craftsman's skill is poured into every step of the process, striving for the highest quality finish in each and every knife. These meticulously crafted knives enhance the enjoyment of cooking and are cherished by professionals around the world.
The blades achieve remarkable hardness and durability by adding small amounts of tungsten and chromium to carbon steel (White Steel No. 2), which has few impurities. This characteristic allows the blade to maintain its sharpness for a long time. The bolster is made of buffalo horn, a top-quality material known for its robustness, durability, and water resistance.
