Aogami Super steel：

Blue paper steel is a material in which chromium and tungsten are added to white paper to improve wear resistance and toughness. Blue paper super is said to be the highest grade material with hardness and wear resistance enhanced by adjusting the amount of carbon and chromium in blue paper steel.
Aogami Super boasts the highest hardness of Yasugi steel, 67. In addition to tungsten and chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, which are used in stainless steel, are also added to Aoshi Super, making its resistance to abrasion unmatched by other steels.

Since hardness is extremely important for blades to retain their sharpness, Aogami Super Steel is very popular because hardness = sharpness.

The handles are made of high-grade Keyaki zalkova wood, which is water-resistant and long-lasting.
