This blade is part of the Kurouchi Damascus series, forged with an Aogami Super steel core. This steel, with a hardness of 64 ±1 HRC, achieves a razor-sharp edge that stays sharp for a long time and is also extremely easy to sharpen. It’s called “SUPER” for a reason. The core is wrapped in Damascus steel, whose layers can be seen on the underside of the blade, while the upper side features a Kurouchi (forged-finish) finish.
