Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel, a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making, requires careful maintenance due to its non-stainless nature. Always wipe your knife dry after each use. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, easing maintenance while preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, and hard fruit pits.
