Carbon Steel Japanese Kitchen Knives

Japanese kitchen knives made of carbon steel have a very thin and sharp cutting edge. These knives can be sharpened to razor sharpness. The most popular and high-quality Japanese carbon steels are Aogami ("blue paper") and Shirogami ("white paper"). Both steels are of very high quality and are suitable for the production of kitchen knives. Shirogami is easier to sharpen to a very sharp point, but is more fragile and susceptible to rust. Tungsten, which is part of Aogami steel, solves these problems, making the blades of Japanese kitchen knives more durable. In our assortment you will find the best Japanese kitchen knives made of carbon steel.
