Made in Sakai, Osaka

[Features]
A double-edged blade made of Aogami No.1 carbon steel. Aogami No.1 is one of the hardest carbon steel and has long lasting sharpness. Due to its hardness, it is likely to chip and needs certain skill for sharpening compared to other steels.
We handle Aogami blades made by skilled blacksmith in Sakai, Osaka. The neat annealing procedure makes the blade uniformed and the feeling of sharpening is unlikely to change even after the knife is worn out. The octagonal handle is made of magnolia wood and water buffalo horn.
