DESCRIPTION

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

HANDMADE FORGING

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

DURABILITY

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

SHARPNESS

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

HANDLE

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.

Its a Great knife and is really fun to use.

Poor Quality and bad customer service

The blade didn´t even survive the first cut, as it was crumbling apart. Customer service blamed me and was not willing to replace the knife.
Although there are rules for internet trading in Europe, allowing to send back the item within 14 days, I had no chance to send it back according to their terms and conditions.
Also there are high import taxes to pay, although the web-address that was shown mentioned Munich as the location of the shop. In the end the blade came from Japan, I had to pay high import taxes, the knife was broken, and sending it back and pay for repair would have been too expensive. I´m just very disappointed!

Nakiri Blue Steel #2

This is my first knife from Muashi, and there will be more. Beautiful craftsmanship and it excels at every task. It's also my first high carbon knife and now I see why they are loved. It stays sharp, its durable, it feels perfect in my hands.

I definitely recommend this blade, in Nakiri or otherwise, as a first introduction to Japanese knives and high carbon blades.

Excellent knife, good price!
