About Aogami (Blue 2) Damascus Steel

The Aogami (Blue 2) steel is a high-performance carbon steel developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan. Known for its excellent edge retention, superior sharpness, and strength, Aogami steel is highly regarded by professional chefs and artisans alike. This steel contains chromium, tungsten, and vanadium, which contribute to its durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for high-quality kitchen knives. Aogami (Blue 2) steel has a unique ability to hold a fine, razor-sharp edge even after repeated use, offering a balance between toughness and edge retention.

In the KAAMUT® Aoki 49 Series Santoku Knife, the Aogami (Blue 2) steel is layered in a Damascus pattern, which not only enhances its strength and cutting ability but also gives the blade its visually stunning appearance. The layered construction provides superior flexibility and resilience, making it highly resistant to chipping, while the sharp edge enables precision cuts with minimal effort. This steel is ideal for those seeking an edge that stays sharp longer, cutting through everything from delicate vegetables to tougher meats with ease.
