The Shigeki Tanaka Aogami Knife series feature beautiful Damascus-patterned blades with a core of Blue Paper (Aogami or Aoko) No.2 Steel, known as traditional prime high carbon steel.



This material has highest wear resistance and toughness because of special hardness (hardness of 63-64 HRC) even though the material is aogami #2. Very good choice for high end Japanese kitchen knives.



These masterpieces are carefully forged & finished by the blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka with his own hands for their top-rate cutting performance.
