─── Core Steel ▪️ Blue Paper No. 1 (Aogami 1) ───
▸ Part of the Hitachi Metals Yasugi steel series in Japan, performance is enhanced by adding chromium and tungsten to the White Paper steel base.
▸ Achieves a hardness of approximately HRC 62–64 after heat treatment, providing outstanding blade sharpness.
▸ Due to its high carbon content and alloy elements, it features excellent sharpness and edge retention, making it ideal for precision cutting.
▸ As a high-carbon steel, it is prone to rust, and its high hardness makes it relatively brittle, requiring higher standards for use and maintenance.
─── Artisan Soul: The Fusion of Professional Grinding and Materials: Miyazaki Kajiya ───

☆【 Maintenance Precautions 】
Carbon steel is prone to oxidation. After ensuring the surface is thoroughly dry, please apply a thin, even coat of food-grade oil (such as camellia oil or mineral oil) to the blade to block moisture and prevent rust.
▸ Avoid extreme hard objects: Do not hack frozen foods or hard bones, as this may damage the blade structure, cause chipping, or break the edge.
▸ No dishwasher/dryer: Do not use a dishwasher or drying machine; high temperatures and strong detergents will damage the blade and handle.
▸ Standard cleaning procedure: After use, hand wash with warm water, wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
