Sakai Takayuki Aoko or Blue Paper (Aogami) No.2 Steel Knife series are made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, which has been widely used for a long time in Japan.
This material has highest wear resistance and toughness because of special hardness. Very good choice for high end Japanese kitchen knives.
Speaking to the Ebony Wood handle, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand.
The Buffalo Tsuba equipped to the handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.
(Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (guard) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.)
We recommend this high-class kitchen knife series for professional chefs to enhance their art of cooking as well as for Perfect Gift.
