Aogami Super Stainless vs Aogami #1

A proprietary laminated construction used by some smiths: an Aogami Super core cladded between stainless steel jackets. The concept marries the legendary edge of Aogami Super with everyday rust resistance. The exposed cutting edge still requires diligent care, but the body of the tool never stains. Popular for premium plane blades marketed internationally.

High-carbon steel alloyed with chromium and tungsten for enhanced wear resistance and edge retention. Ideal for hard woods and heavy use. Forged by masters who prize its demanding nature, it rewards a skilled sharpener with extraordinary edges that outlast almost any other carbon steel.
