Blue (Aogami) 2 is a high performance carbon steel which brings together superb sharpness and easy sharpening. As with any carbon steel it is reactive to moisture so should be kept clean and dry to get the best of it.
This is a smaller blade mainly used for chopping herbs, veg, or perhaps even filleting a fish. A vital knife for when a Gyuto is too big. Blades are normally between 120mm and 150mm
