This rough forge-finished kuro-uchi blade is in aogami 2, a high-performance non-stainless carbon steel.
It is harder than shirogami because it also contains chrome and tungsten, which also strengthens its resistance to wear.
This blade is easy to sharpen and will take on a very keen edge.
The blade has been hand-engraved by Tanaka San.
The traditional-style handle is in honoki and real buffalo horn.
Beware: this blade can rust if it is not well cared for.
