Blue Steel
Thanks to the cladding of the rust-resistant core with Blue Steel #2, which consists of multiple layers of stainless steel, brass, and copper, we get a multicolored steel blade hardened to 61 HRC +/-1. The manual craftsmanship ensures that each pattern is unique and one-of-a-kind. This knife will surely satisfy not only kitchen enthusiasts but also professionals. The handle made of black and gray micarta fits perfectly in the hand, even during long work sessions, and is resistant to moisture-induced shrinking and cracking.
Blue Steel has greater wear resistance, resulting in an extremely long-lasting edge and higher cutting aggression compared to Shirogami steel.
