This knife was heat-treated to around 63 HRC. It is a very hard steel, meaning that it will retain a super-fine sharpness for a long time. In addition, due to the high carbon content (1.4-1.5%), the knife is very easy to sharpen. Among the high carbon steels, Aogami Super is also the least sensitive to rust. It also contains 0.4% vanadium as an admixture for micronized metal grains, which gives the steel more toughness. Aogami Super is rated as the most advanced carbon steel. The outer layers are of softer, stainless steel, giving the knife extra rust protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLADE FINISH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kuro-uchi (black) patina on the upper part of the knife gives it a unique and rustic appearance. Kuro-uchi finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look. The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHANDLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis knife is without a handle, so you can fit your own. Browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/knife-handles\"\u003eselection of handles\u003c\/a\u003e and create your own, custom-looking knife!
