Satoshi Nakagawa Aogami No.1 Migaki series feature beautiful MigakiI(hairline finished) texture 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.
