This knife is forged by Nao Yamamoto using Aogami Carbon steel. The knife starts thicker before tapering down, making it suitable for less delicate ingredients. The hard core is protected by two layers of carbon steel with a kurouchi and tsuchime finish, giving it a rugged appearance.

Carbon Damask

The hard Aogami Core layer (63 HRC Rockwell) is protected by several layers of softer carbon steel. These layers have had a Tsuchime (hammer machining) process that makes food less likely to stick. Also, the upper part of the blade is not polished so the dark forging skin is still visible. This also helps against food sticking.

Patina

Because the hard core layer will discolor over time (it gets a patina layer) you get to see a nice separation of core and protective layers. This knife is only going to look tougher the more often you use it.

Octagon Handle

The octagonal handle is made of rosewood and has a head of pakka wood. This type of wood holds up well to moisture and does not require regular oiling.
