Aogami #2 (Blue Steel #2) Knives

Aogami #2 is a lower carbon version of Aogami #1. While slightly less hard (approximately 61-62 HRC), Aogami #2 provides a good balance between sharpness and durability. Aogami #2 is somewhat more durable in use, which is why it is commonly preferred among chefs. The tungsten and vanadium content in the steel enhances sharpness while ensuring the blades last longer.
