This is very similar to white paper steel but with tungsten and chromium added to it which helps with edge retention and slows down rusting. This steel differs from Blue 1 in its carbon content, Blue 2 being slightly less. Due to the non stainless nature of this steel care must be taken to dry the knives properly after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/kurouchi\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: black;\"\u003eKurouchi\u003c\/a\u003e. This is a traditional, rustic finish achieved by leaving the furnace scale from the forging process on the blade rather than polishing it off. It has the advantage of reducing the reactivity of the surface of the knife and gives the blade a stylish, matt black finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: black;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/damascus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDamascus\u003c\/a\u003e or Suminagashi. This type of finish is made by creating a Kitaeji; which is produced by repeatedly folding\/stacking then compressing two different steels until they create a laminated pattern. This can then be manipulated in various ways to produce the maker’s desired pattern effect. This material is then clad around the core metal of the blade as an elaborate protective layer for the core steel - thus giving the knife a beautiful and striking appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHANDLE: Octagonal teak handle with a buffalo ferrule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLENGTH: 210mm  or 240mm blade length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAKER: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/hatsukokoro\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHatsukokoro\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRANGE: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/search?type=article%2Cproduct%2Cpage%2C\u0026amp;q=kumokage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: black;\"\u003eKumokage\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEST FOR: Thin knives in all the classic shapes, finished to a high standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAUNDERS SAYS: \u003cem\u003e\"Thin and fit, and some of the best fit and finish around.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knives","offers":[{"title":"210mm","offer_id":44951965270331,"sku":"KUM-A2-G210 \/ D2","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240mm","offer_id":44951965303099,"sku":"KUM-A2-G240 \/ D2","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/1335\/7883\/products\/image_19e63d67-91cf-4a11-8854-165f1c3f0344.jpg?v=1681879436","url":"https:\/\/onaeer.com\/products\/gyuto-knife-aogami-2-with-iron-cladding-kurouchi-damascus-finish-kumokage-range-hatsukokoro","provider":"Onaeer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
