The blade is made from Hitachi Yasugi’s premium Aogami Super steel, hammered from a thick billet to create a dense, refined structure. Precise heat treatment maximizes the steel’s performance.\u003cbr\u003eThe octagonal handle is made from white oak that has been air‑dried for 1–2 years. The surface is lightly scorched to reveal the wood’s natural patterns, creating a beautiful contrast of grain and darkened tones. A lacquer finish adds durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals.\u003cbr\u003eIts compact size and agility make it perfect for peeling small vegetables, cutting fruit, and performing decorative cuts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA protective varnish is applied to prevent rust, so the knife may feel less sharp straight out of the box. The varnish will wear off with use, but sharpening the blade will reveal its true cutting performance.\u003cbr\u003eThe knife comes with a general‑purpose edge suitable for most users, and it is intentionally finished to make it easy to apply your preferred edge profile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach knife is fully handmade, so small scratches or areas where the black oxide coating has flaked may appear. These are normal characteristics of the forging process and are not considered defects.\u003cbr\u003eBecause it is free‑forged, slight variations in size and minor warping may occur.\u003cbr\u003eDo not use a dishwasher or dryer.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a carbon‑steel knife and will rust if not cared for. The black‑forged finish helps hide discoloration, but please wipe off moisture frequently.\u003cbr\u003eAogami Super is extremely hard and more challenging to sharpen than standard kitchen knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to sharpen a MOTOKANE of Aogami Super steel knife,\nwe recommend using the HSS series sharpening stones on the page below.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honmamon-japan.com\/collections\/kyo-higashiyama\"\u003eRecommended stones are listed here \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem no. \u003cspan\u003e1119570\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eImport duties; taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
