About Blue Paper Steel (Aogami):

Blue Paper Steel (青紙鋼, Aogami) is one of the finest high-carbon steels used in traditional Japanese knives. It contains added chromium and tungsten, giving it:

• Superior edge retention

• Outstanding sharpness

• Excellent wear resistance

This makes it highly valued by professional chefs and craftsmen alike. It sharpens beautifully and holds its edge longer than most stainless steels—perfect for those who appreciate traditional Japanese blade performance.

About the Nakiri Knife:

The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, widely recognized for its straight, flat blade design.

Primarily used for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, it excels at producing clean, precise cuts.

Its thin, lightweight blade allows for delicate cuts of vegetables and fruits without crushing or damaging the fibers.

The blade’s straight edge is ideal for repetitive chopping motions, making food preparation efficient and smooth.

While mainly intended for vegetables, the Nakiri is also versatile enough to handle soft fruits, thin slicing of meats like chicken, and light fish preparation.

Its ease of use and precision make it a popular choice in both home kitchens and professional settings.
