Satoshi Nakagawa Aogami No.1 Damascus series feature Unique Suminagashi Damascus-patterned blades with a core of Blue Paper (Aogami or Aoko) No.1 Steel, which is "Aoko" or Blue Paper (Aogami) No.1 Steel Knife, made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives.
This material has highest wear resistance and toughness because of special hardness (hardness of 62-63 HRC). Very good choice for high end Japanese kitchen knives. The blade is particularly suitable for the gentle preparation of foods though you need to treat the blade to prevent from rust.
The handle is made of Half Rounded Ebony with Double Buffalo & Metal Rings.(Please be noted that the ferrule 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.
