Hezhen Retro Series 5 pcs PM8B Japanese Aogami 49 layers Damascus - Blue 2 Steel - Japanese octagonal figured Sycamore Handle
Includes: Chef, Santoku, Utility, Paring & Bread Knife
Real Japanese Aogami Blue #2 steel is celebrated for its ultra-fine grain that takes a screaming-sharp edge and holds it. Heat-treated to high hardness 62-64, it resists wear yet sharpens quickly on stones.
Here, the Blue #2 core is clad in Japan with 48 layers of Japanese Damascus—so the entire blade steel comes from the Japanese factory—adding toughness, stability, and corrosion resistance while showcasing beautiful patterning. You’ll feel clean, effortless cuts, crisp tip control, and lively feedback. It’s true Japan-steel performance and craftsmanship at a fraction of the typical big-brand price.
“I’ve had the 5.5" Santoku in my kitchen for about six months. I didn’t baby it—no rushing to wash—because I wanted to see how the edge would patina. With lazy care, it darkened pretty fast and has mostly settled. I know some folks love that old-world high-carbon look; I’m not a huge fan because it can get blotchy. What surprised me is how great the Damascus looks next to that gray edge—it really shows where the Damascus ends, and the Aogami steel cutting edge starts making the Damascus really stand out”.
"Xinzuo only imports the best steels for their top-tier knives like this Japanese Aogami Super Steel, AUS 10, SRS13, ZDP 189, German Bohler M390 Damascus, and German 1.4116.” Rob - The Bamboo Guy"
