AUS-8 Blades

AUS-8 is a type of stainless steel manufactured in Japan and is generally preferred for mid-range kitchen knives. Thanks to its low carbon content and high chromium content, AUS-8 is resistant to rust and also offers good hardness and durability. However, AUS-8 does not offer the same sharpness or durability as more expensive and higher-quality steels. Nevertheless, it stands out as a good option in terms of price/performance.
