The knives are forged from quality steels such as Shirogami and Aogami. Skilled craftsmen sharpen the blades to exceptional sharpness and combine them with specially designed handles tailored to enhance the knives' functionality and aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese knives are forged by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShogou Yamatsuka and sharpened by a young upcoming sharpener from Baba Cutlery Works. Yamatsuka-san forges the knives in 3 layers, Blue#2 in the core surrounded by 2 layers of soft iron.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAogami #2 or Blue #2 is a carbon steel, is in the category of so-called blue steel, and Aogami #2 is the third hardest of these alloys. To make Aogami\/Blue #2, Shirogami\/White #2 is taken and tungsten and chromium are added. This makes the steel hold its sharpness longer and be more protected against rust. However, it is still a carbon steel that will rust if not cared for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis knife is a so-called \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eutility knife\u003c\/em\u003e of 15 cm. It is second only to the chef's knife as the most universal knife of the common types and can also in many ways replace a chef's knife. It is not quite as tall as a chef's knife and is also shorter, making it very easy to handle. It can be used for slicing vegetables and cutting smaller pieces of meat - and it is fantastic for trimming meat as well as finer cutting tasks in fruits and vegetables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 562px;\" data-mce-selected=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 562px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"height: 26.75px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 26.75px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 166.719px;
