This hand-hammered forged product uses Yasuki steel “blue steel” for the core material.
Yasuki steel with forging (a brand of knife steel by Hitachi Metals) has a sharp edge, showing a razor-like “sharp” cutting edge, and it is easy to hit the whetstone, and the edge is straightforward, but every time it hits a cutting board or bone, it also becomes dull and straightforward.
Aoni Steel (Blue Steel No. 2) is the steel material used by professional chefs for kitchen knives because of its excellent sharpness and durability.
